Конфигурация (Configuration)

What should I put in user.name?
           You should put your personal name, generally a form using a
           given name and family name. For example, the current
           maintainer of Git uses "Junio C Hamano". This will be the
           name portion that is stored in every commit you make.

           This configuration doesn't have any effect on authenticating
           to remote services; for that, see credential.username in
           git-config(1).

       What does http.postBuffer really do?
           This option changes the size of the buffer that Git uses when
           pushing data to a remote over HTTP or HTTPS. If the data is
           larger than this size, libcurl, which handles the HTTP
           support for Git, will use chunked transfer encoding since it
           isn't known ahead of time what the size of the pushed data
           will be.

           Leaving this value at the default size is fine unless you
           know that either the remote server or a proxy in the middle
           doesn't support HTTP/1.1 (which introduced the chunked
           transfer encoding) or is known to be broken with chunked
           data. This is often (erroneously) suggested as a solution for
           generic push problems, but since almost every server and
           proxy supports at least HTTP/1.1, raising this value usually
           doesn't solve most push problems. A server or proxy that
           didn't correctly support HTTP/1.1 and chunked transfer
           encoding wouldn't be that useful on the Internet today, since
           it would break lots of traffic.

           Note that increasing this value will increase the memory used
           on every relevant push that Git does over HTTP or HTTPS,
           since the entire buffer is allocated regardless of whether or
           not it is all used. Thus, it's best to leave it at the
           default unless you are sure you need a different value.

       How do I configure a different editor?
           If you haven't specified an editor specifically for Git, it
           will by default use the editor you've configured using the
           VISUAL or EDITOR environment variables, or if neither is
           specified, the system default (which is usually vi). Since
           some people find vi difficult to use or prefer a different
           editor, it may be desirable to change the editor used.

           If you want to configure a general editor for most programs
           which need one, you can edit your shell configuration (e.g.,
           ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshenv) to contain a line setting the EDITOR
           or VISUAL environment variable to an appropriate value. For
           example, if you prefer the editor nano, then you could write
           the following:

               export VISUAL=nano

           If you want to configure an editor specifically for Git, you
           can either set the core.editor configuration value or the
           GIT_EDITOR environment variable. You can see git-var(1) for
           details on the order in which these options are consulted.

           Note that in all cases, the editor value will be passed to
           the shell, so any arguments containing spaces should be
           appropriately quoted. Additionally, if your editor normally
           detaches from the terminal when invoked, you should specify
           it with an argument that makes it not do that, or else Git
           will not see any changes. An example of a configuration
           addressing both of these issues on Windows would be the
           configuration "C:\Program Files\Vim\gvim.exe" --nofork, which
           quotes the filename with spaces and specifies the --nofork
           option to avoid backgrounding the process.
