See git-config(1) for core variables and git-diff(1) for settings
related to diff generation.
format.pretty
Default for the --format option. (See Pretty Formats above.)
Defaults to medium.
i18n.logOutputEncoding
Encoding to use when displaying logs. (See Discussion above.)
Defaults to the value of i18n.commitEncoding if set, and
UTF-8 otherwise.
log.date
Default format for human-readable dates. (Compare the --date
option.) Defaults to "default", which means to write dates
like Sat May 8 19:35:34 2010 -0500.
If the format is set to "auto:foo" and the pager is in use,
format "foo" will be the used for the date format. Otherwise
"default" will be used.
log.follow
If true, git log will act as if the --follow option was used
when a single <path> is given. This has the same limitations
as --follow, i.e. it cannot be used to follow multiple files
and does not work well on non-linear history.
log.showRoot
If false, git log and related commands will not treat the
initial commit as a big creation event. Any root commits in
git log -p output would be shown without a diff attached. The
default is true.
log.showSignature
If true, git log and related commands will act as if the
--show-signature option was passed to them.
mailmap.*
See git-shortlog(1).
notes.displayRef
Which refs, in addition to the default set by core.notesRef
or GIT_NOTES_REF, to read notes from when showing commit
messages with the log family of commands. See git-notes(1).
May be an unabbreviated ref name or a glob and may be
specified multiple times. A warning will be issued for refs
that do not exist, but a glob that does not match any refs is
silently ignored.
This setting can be disabled by the --no-notes option,
overridden by the GIT_NOTES_DISPLAY_REF environment variable,
and overridden by the --notes=<ref> option.
