git – den enkla innehållsspåraren
Ingress
git(1) beskriver huvudprogrammet Git, dess globala flaggor, indelningen mellan högnivåkommandon och lågnivåkommandon, viktiga miljövariabler, begrepp och hänvisningar till övrig dokumentation. Denna fil är konverterad till MediaWiki-format och tekniska kommandon, miljövariabler och exempel är bevarade oförändrade där det behövs.

Beskrivning
Git är ett snabbt, skalbart och distribuerat versionshanteringssystem med en ovanligt rikt uppsättning kommandon som ger både högnivåfunktioner och full åtkomst till interna delar.
See gittutorial(7)
för att komma igång, then see
för en användbar minsta uppsättning kommandon. The
Git User’s Manual [1] har en mer fördjupad introduktion.
När du behärskar de grundläggande begreppen kan du återvända till denna sida för att se vilka kommandon Git erbjuder. Du kan läsa mer om enskilda Git-kommandon med "git help kommando". gitcli(7)
manualsidan ger en översikt över kommandoradens syntax.

Flaggor
-v, --version
Skriver ut versionsnumret för Git-sviten som
git
programmet tillhör.
This option is internally converted to
git version ... and
accepts the same options as the
command. If
--help is also given, it takes precedence over --version .
-h, --help
Prints the synopsis and a list of the most commonly used commands. If the option
--all or -a is given then all
available commands are printed. If a Git command is named this option will bring up the manual page for that command.
Other options are available to control how the manual page is displayed. See
for more information, because
git
--help ... is converted internally into git help ....
-C <path>
Kör som om git hade startats i
<path>
instead of the current working directory. When multiple
-C options are given, each
subsequent non-absolute
-C <path>
is interpreted relative to the preceding
-C <path> . If <path>
is present but empty, e.g.
-C "", then the current working directory is left unchanged.
This option affects options that expect path name like
--git-dir and --work-tree in that their interpretations of the
path names would be made relative to the working directory caused by the
-C option. For example the following invocations
are equivalent:
git --git-dir=a.git --work-tree=b -C c status
git --git-dir=c/a.git --work-tree=c/b status
-c <name>=<value>
Skicka en konfigurationsparameter till kommandot. The value given will override values from configuration files. The <name> is expected in the same format as listed by
git config
(subkeys separated by dots).
Note that omitting the
= in git -c foo.bar ... is allowed and
sets
foo.bar to the boolean true value (just like [ foo ] bar
would in a config file). Including the equals but with an empty value (like
git -c foo.bar= ...) sets foo.bar to the
empty string which
git config --type=bool will convert to
false .
--config-env=<name>=<envvar>
Like
-c <name> = <value> , give configuration variable <name>
a value, where <envvar> is the name of an environment variable from which to retrieve the value. Unlike
-c there is no
shortcut for directly setting the value to an empty string, instead the environment variable itself must be set to the empty string. It is an error if the
<envvar>
does not exist in the environment.
<envvar>
may not contain an equals sign to avoid ambiguity with
<name>
containing one.
This is useful for cases where you want to pass transitory configuration options to git, but are doing so on operating systems where other processes might be able to read your command line (e.g.
/proc/self/cmdline ), but not your
environment (e.g.
/proc/self/environ ). That behavior is the
default on Linux, but may not be on your system.
Note that this might add security for variables such as
http.extraHeader where the sensitive information is part of
the value, but not e.g.
url. <base> .insteadOf where the
sensitive information can be part of the key.
--exec-path[=<path>]
Sökväg till platsen där Gits kärnprogram är installerade. This can also be controlled by setting the GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable. If no path is given,
git
will print the current setting and then exit.
--html-path
Skriv ut sökvägen, without trailing slash, where Git’s HTML documentation is installed och avsluta.
--man-path
Print the manpath (see
man ( 1 )) for the man pages for this
version of Git och avsluta.
--info-path
Skriv ut sökvägen where the Info files documenting this version of Git are installed och avsluta.
-p, --paginate
Skicka all utdata till
less
(or if set, $PAGER) if standard output is a terminal. This overrides the
pager. <cmd>
configuration options (see the "Configuration Mechanism" section below).
-P, --no-pager
Skicka inte Git-utdata till en sidvisare.
--git-dir=<path>
Ange sökvägen till förrådet (".git" directory). This can
also be controlled by setting the
GIT_DIR environment
variable. It can be an absolute path or relative path to current working directory.
Specifying the location of the ".git" directory using this option (or
GIT_DIR environment variable) turns off the
repository discovery that tries to find a directory with ".git" subdirectory (which is how the repository and the top-level of the working tree are discovered), and tells Git that you are at the top level of the working tree. If you are not at the top-level directory of the working tree, you should tell Git where the top-level of the working tree is, with the
--work-tree= <path>
option (or
GIT_WORK_TREE environment
variable)
If you just want to run git as if it was started in
<path>
then use
git -C <path> .
--work-tree=<path>
Ange sökvägen till arbetsträdet. It can be an absolute path or a path relative to the current working directory. This can also be controlled by setting the GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable and the core.worktree configuration variable (see core.worktree in
for a more detailed discussion).
--namespace=<path>
Sätt the Git namespace. See
for more details. Equivalent to setting the
GIT_NAMESPACE environment variable.
--bare
Behandla förrådet som ett bart förråd. If GIT_DIR environment is not set, it is set to the current working directory.
--no-replace-objects
Använd inte ersättningsreferenser för att ersätta Git-objekt. This is equivalent to exporting the
GIT_NO_REPLACE_OBJECTS environment
variable with any value. See
for more information.
--no-lazy-fetch
Do not fetch missing objects from the promisor remote on demand. Useful together with
git cat-file -e <object>
to see if the object is locally available. This is equivalent to setting the
GIT_NO_LAZY_FETCH environment variable to 1 .
--no-optional-locks
Do not perform optional operations that require locks. This is equivalent to setting the
GIT_OPTIONAL_LOCKS to 0 .
--no-advice
Stäng av utskrift av alla råd och tips.
--literal-pathspecs
Behandla pathspec-värden bokstavligt (i.e. no globbing, no pathspec magic). This is equivalent to setting the
GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS environment variable to 1 .
--glob-pathspecs
Add "glob" magic to all pathspec. This is equivalent to setting the
GIT_GLOB_PATHSPECS environment variable to 1 .
Disabling globbing on individual pathspecs can be done using pathspec magic ":(literal)"
--noglob-pathspecs
Add "literal" magic to all pathspec. This is equivalent to setting the
GIT_NOGLOB_PATHSPECS environment variable to 1 .
Enabling globbing on individual pathspecs can be done using pathspec magic ":(glob)"
--icase-pathspecs
Add "icase" magic to all pathspec. This is equivalent to setting the
GIT_ICASE_PATHSPECS environment variable to 1 .
--list-cmds=<group>[,<group>...]
Lista kommandon efter grupp. This is an internal/experimental option and may change or be removed in the future. Supported groups are: builtins, parseopt (builtin commands that use parse-options), deprecated (deprecated builtins), main (all commands in libexec directory), others (all other commands in
$PATH that have git- prefix), list-<category> (see categories
in command-list.txt), nohelpers (exclude helper commands), alias and config (retrieve command list from config variable completion.commands)
--attr-source=<tree-ish>
Läs gitattributes från <tree-ish> instead of the worktree. See
gitattributes(5) . This is equivalent to setting the
GIT_ATTR_SOURCE environment variable.
Git-kommandon
Git delas in i högnivåkommandon ("porcelain") och lågnivåkommandon ("plumbing"). För att definiera kommandoalias, se
and look for descriptions of
alias.* . För installation av egna "git"-underkommandon, se beskrivningen av PATH

Lågnivåkommandon (plumbing)
Även om Git innehåller ett eget porcelain-lager räcker lågnivåkommandona för att stödja utveckling av alternativa porcelain-gränssnitt. Developers of such porcelains might start by reading about git-update-index(1)
and
The interface (input, output, set of options and the semantics) to these low-level commands are meant to be a lot more stable than Porcelain level commands, because these commands are primarily for scripted use. The interface to Porcelain commands on the other hand are subject to change in order to improve the end user experience.
The following description divides the low-level commands into commands that manipulate objects (in the repository, index, and working tree), commands that interrogate and compare objects, and commands that move objects and references between repositories. Manipulationskommandon git-apply(1)

Konfigurationsmekanism
Git använder ett enkelt textformat för att lagra anpassningar per förråd och per användare. Such a configuration file may look like this:
# # A '#' or ';' character indicates a comment. #
; core variables
[core]
; Don't trust file modes
filemode = false
; user identity
[user]
name = "Junio C Hamano"
email = "gitster@pobox.com"
Olika kommandon läser konfigurationsfilen och anpassar sitt beteende därefter. See git-config(1)
for a list and more
details about the configuration mechanism.
Identifierarterminologi
<object>
Anger objektnamnet för valfri objekttyp.
<blob>
Anger namnet på ett blob-objekt.
<tree>
Anger namnet på ett trädobjekt.
<commit>
Anger namnet på ett commit-objekt.
<tree-ish>
Indicates a tree, commit or tag object name. A command that takes a <tree-ish> argument ultimately wants to operate on a <tree> object but automatically dereferences <commit> and <tag> objects that point at a <tree>.
<commit-ish>
Indicates a commit or tag object name. A command that takes a <commit-ish> argument ultimately wants to operate on a <commit> object but automatically dereferences <tag> objects that point at a <commit>.
<type>
Indicates that an object type is required. Currently one of:
blob , tree , commit , or tag .
<file>
Indicates a filename - almost always relative to the root of the tree structure
GIT_INDEX_FILE describes.
Symboliska identifierare
Any Git command accepting any <object> can also use the following symbolic notation:
HEAD
indicates the head of the current branch.
<tag>
a valid tag
name
(i.e. a
refs/tags/ <tag>
reference).
<head>
a valid head
name
(i.e. a
refs/heads/ <head>
reference).
For a more complete list of ways to spell object names, see "SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in gitrevisions(7) .

Terminologi

Miljövariabler
Olika Git-kommandon tar hänsyn till miljövariabler och ändrar sitt beteende. The environment variables marked as "Boolean" take their values the same way as Boolean valued configuration variables, i.e., "true", "yes", "on" and positive numbers are taken as "yes", while "false", "no", "off", and "0" are taken as "no".
Här är variablerna: System HOME
Anger sökvägen till användarens hemkatalog. On Windows, if unset, Git will set a process environment variable equal to:
$HOMEDRIVE$HOMEPATH if both $HOMEDRIVE and $HOMEPATH
exist; otherwise
$USERPROFILE if $USERPROFILE exists.
PATH
When a user runs
git <command>
that is not part of the core Git programs (installed in GIT_EXEC_PATH),
git-<command>
that is runnable by the user in a directory on
$PATH is invoked.
Argument passed after the command name are passed as-is to the program. To execute
git <foo> , git finds command <foo>
(either a core Git program found in
GIT_EXEC_PATH , or a custom one in
a directory on
PATH ), before trying foo as an alias. Git-förrådet These environment variables apply to all
core Git commands. Nb: it
is worth noting that they may be used/overridden by SCMS sitting above Git so take care if using a foreign front-end.
GIT_INDEX_FILE
Denna miljövariabel anger en alternativ indexfil. Om den inte anges, standardvärdet of
$GIT_DIR/index används.
GIT_INDEX_VERSION
This environment variable specifies what index version is used when writing the index file out. It won’t affect existing index files. By default index file version 2 or 3 används. See
for more information.
GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY
If the object storage directory is specified via this environment variable then the sha1 directories are created underneath - otherwise standardvärdet
$GIT_DIR/objects directory
används.
GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES
Due to the immutable nature of Git objects, old objects can be archived into shared, read-only directories. This variable specifies a ":" separated (on Windows ";" separated) list of Git object directories which can be used to search for Git objects. New objects will not be written to these directories.
Entries that begin with " (double-quote) will be interpreted as C-style quoted paths, removing leading and trailing double-quotes and respecting backslash escapes. E.g., the value "path-with-\"-and-:-in-it":vanilla-path has two paths:
path-with- "-and-:-in-it and vanilla-path .
GIT_DIR
If the
GIT_DIR environment variable is set then it specifies a
path to use instead of standardvärdet
.git for the base of the
repository. The
--git-dir command-line option also sets this
value.
GIT_WORK_TREE
Sätt the path to the root of the working tree. This can also be controlled by the
--work-tree command-line option and the
core.worktree configuration variable.
GIT_NAMESPACE
Sätt the Git namespace; see
for details. The
--namespace command-line option also sets this value.
GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES
This should be a colon-separated list of absolute paths. If set, it is a list of directories that Git should not chdir up into while looking for a repository directory (useful for excluding slow-loading network directories). It will not exclude the current working directory or a GIT_DIR set on the command line or in the environment. Normally, Git has to read the entries in this list and resolve any symlink that might be present in order to compare them with the current directory. However, if even this access is slow, you can add an empty entry to the list to tell Git that the subsequent entries are not symlinks and needn’t be resolved; e.g.,
GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=/maybe/symlink::/very/slow/non/symlink .
GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM
When run in a directory that does not have ".git" repository directory, Git tries to find such a directory in the parent directories to find the top of the working tree, but by default it does not cross filesystem boundaries. This Boolean environment variable can be set to true to tell Git not to stop at filesystem boundaries. Like
GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES ,
this will not affect an explicit repository directory set via
GIT_DIR or on the command line.
GIT_COMMON_DIR
If this variable is set to a path, non-worktree files that are normally in $GIT_DIR will be taken from this path instead. Worktree-specific files such as HEAD or index are taken from $GIT_DIR. See
and
for details. This variable has lower precedence than other path variables such as GIT_INDEX_FILE, GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY...
GIT_DEFAULT_HASH
If this variable is set, standardvärdet hash algorithm for new repositories will be set to this value. This value is ignored when cloning and the setting of the remote repository is always used. The default is "sha1". See
--object-format in
GIT_DEFAULT_REF_FORMAT
If this variable is set, standardvärdet reference backend format for new repositories will be set to this value. The default is "files". See
--ref-format in git-init(1) .
GIT_REFERENCE_BACKEND
Specify which reference backend to be used along with its URI. See
extensions.refStorage option in git-config(1)
for more details. Overrides the config variable when used.
Git-commits GIT_AUTHOR_NAME
Det läsbara namnet som används i författaridentiteten when creating commit or tag objects, or when writing reflogs. Overrides the
user.name and author.name configuration
settings.
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL
E-postadressen som används i författaridentiteten when creating commit or tag objects, or when writing reflogs. Overrides the
user.email and author.email configuration settings.
GIT_AUTHOR_DATE
Datumet som används för författaridentiteten when creating commit or tag objects, or when writing reflogs. See
for valid formats.
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME
Det läsbara namnet som används i committer-identiteten when creating commit or tag objects, or when writing reflogs. Overrides the
user.name and committer.name configuration
settings.
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL
E-postadressen som används i författaridentiteten when creating commit or tag objects, or when writing reflogs. Overrides the
user.email and committer.email configuration settings.
GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
Datumet som används för committer-identiteten when creating commit or tag objects, or when writing reflogs. See
for valid formats.
The email address used in the author and committer identities if no other relevant environment variable or configuration setting has been set.
Git-diffar GIT_DIFF_OPTS
Only valid setting is "--unified=??" or "-u??" to set the number of context lines shown when a unified diff is created. This takes precedence over any "-U" or "--unified" option value passed on the Git diff command line.
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF
When the environment variable
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF is set, the
program named by it is called to generate diffs, and Git does not use its builtin diff machinery. For a path that is added, removed, or modified,
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF is called with 7
parameters:
path old-file old-hex old-mode new-file new-hex new-mode
where:
<old|new>-file
are files GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF can use to read the contents of <old|new>,
<old|new>-hex
are the 40-hexdigit SHA-1 hashes,
<old|new>-mode
are the octal representation of the file modes.
The file parameters can point at the user’s working file (e.g.
new-file in "git-diff-files"), /dev/null (e.g. old-file when
a new file is added), or a temporary file (e.g.
old-file in
the index).
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF should not worry about
unlinking the temporary file — it is removed when
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF exits.
For a path that is unmerged,
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF is called with
1 parameter, <path>.
For each path
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF is called, two environment
variables,
GIT_DIFF_PATH_COUNTER and GIT_DIFF_PATH_TOTAL are
set.
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF_TRUST_EXIT_CODE
If this Boolean environment variable is set to true then the
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF command is expected to return exit code 0 if
it considers the input files to be equal or 1 if it considers them to be different, like
diff ( 1 ). If it is set to false,
which is standardvärdet, then the command is expected to return exit code 0 regardless of equality. Any other exit code causes Git to report a fatal error.
GIT_DIFF_PATH_COUNTER
A 1-based counter incremented by one for every path.
GIT_DIFF_PATH_TOTAL
The total number of paths.
Övrigt GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY
Ett tal som styr the amount of output shown by the recursive merge strategy. Overrides merge.verbosity. See
GIT_PAGER
Denna miljövariabel åsidosätter
$PAGER . If it is set to an
empty string or to the value "cat", Git will not launch a pager. Se also the
core.pager option in git-config(1) .
GIT_PROGRESS_DELAY
Ett tal som styr how many seconds to delay before showing optional progress indicators. Defaults to 1.
GIT_EDITOR
Denna miljövariabel åsidosätter
$EDITOR and $VISUAL . It is
used by several Git commands when, on interactive mode, an editor is to be launched. Se also
and the
core.editor option in git-config(1) .
GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR
Denna miljövariabel åsidosätter the configured Git editor when editing the todo list of an interactive rebase. Se also
and the
sequence.editor option in git-config(1) .
GIT_SSH , GIT_SSH_COMMAND
If either of these environment variables is set then
git fetch
and
git push
will use the specified command instead of
ssh
when they need to connect to a remote system. The command-line parameters passed to the configured command are determined by the ssh variant. See
ssh.variant option in git-config(1)
for details.
$GIT_SSH_COMMAND takes precedence over $GIT_SSH , and is
interpreted by the shell, which allows additional arguments to be included.
$GIT_SSH on the other hand must be just the path
to a program (which can be a wrapper shell script, if additional arguments are needed).
Usually it is easier to configure any desired options through your personal
.ssh/config file. Please consult your ssh
documentation for further details.
GIT_SSH_VARIANT
If this environment variable is set, it overrides Git’s autodetection whether
GIT_SSH / GIT_SSH_COMMAND / core.sshCommand
refer to OpenSSH, plink or tortoiseplink. This variable overrides the config setting
ssh.variant that serves the same
purpose.
GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY
Sättting and exporting this environment variable to any value tells Git not to verify the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing over HTTPS.
GIT_ATTR_SOURCE
Sätts the treeish that gitattributes will be read from.
GIT_ASKPASS
If this environment variable is set, then Git commands which need to acquire passwords or passphrases (e.g. for HTTP or IMAP authentication) will call this program with a suitable prompt as command-line argument and read the password from its STDOUT. Se also the
core.askPass option in git-config(1) .
GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT
If this Boolean environment variable is set to false, git will not prompt on the terminal (e.g., when asking for HTTP authentication).
GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL , GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM
Take the configuration from the given files instead from global or system-level configuration files. If
GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM is set, the system config file defined at
build time (usually
/etc/gitconfig ) will not be read.
Likewise, if
GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL is set, neither
$HOME/.gitconfig nor $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config will be read.
Can be set to
/dev/null to skip reading configuration files of
the respective level.
GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM
Whether to skip reading settings from the system-wide
$ ( prefix ) /etc/gitconfig file. This Boolean environment
variable can be used along with
$HOME and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME to
create a predictable environment for a picky script, or you can set it to true to temporarily avoid using a buggy
/etc/gitconfig file while waiting for someone with sufficient
permissions to fix it.
GIT_FLUSH
If this Boolean environment variable is set to true, then commands such as
git blame
(in incremental mode),
git
rev-list , git log , git check-attr
and
git check-ignore
will force a flush of the output stream after each record have been flushed. If this variable is set to false, the output of these commands will be done using completely buffered I/O. If this environment variable is not set, Git will choose buffered or record-oriented flushing based on whether stdout appears to be redirected to a file or not.
GIT_TRACE
Enables general trace messages, e.g. alias expansion, built-in command execution and external command execution.
If this variable is set to "1", "2" or "true" (comparison is case insensitive), trace messages will be printed to stderr.
If the variable is set to an integer value greater than 2 and lower than 10 (strictly) then Git will interpret this value as an open file descriptor and will try to write the trace messages into this file descriptor.
Alternatively, if the variable is set to an absolute path (starting with a
/
character), Git will interpret this as a file path and will try to append the trace messages to it.
Unsetting the variable, or setting it to empty, "0" or "false" (case insensitive) disables trace messages.
GIT_TRACE_FSMONITOR
Enables trace messages for the filesystem monitor extension. See
GIT_TRACE for available trace output options.
GIT_TRACE_PACK_ACCESS
Enables trace messages for all accesses to any packs. For each access, the pack file name and an offset in the pack is recorded. This may be helpful for troubleshooting some pack-related performance problems. See
GIT_TRACE for available
trace output options.
GIT_TRACE_PACKET
Enables trace messages for all packets coming in or out of a given program. This can help with debugging object negotiation or other protocol issues. Tracing is turned off at a packet starting with "PACK" (but see
GIT_TRACE_PACKFILE below). See
GIT_TRACE for available trace output options.
GIT_TRACE_PACKFILE
Enables tracing of packfiles sent or received by a given program. Unlike other trace output, this trace is verbatim: no headers, and no quoting of binary data. You almost certainly want to direct into a file (e.g.,
GIT_TRACE_PACKFILE=/tmp/my.pack ) rather than displaying it on
the terminal or mixing it with other trace output.
Note that this is currently only implemented for the client side of clones and fetches.
GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE
Enables performance related trace messages, e.g. total execution time of each Git command. See
GIT_TRACE for
available trace output options.
GIT_TRACE_REFS
Enables trace messages for operations on the ref database. See
GIT_TRACE for available trace output options.
GIT_TRACE_SETUP
Enables trace messages printing the .git, working tree and current working directory after Git has completed its setup phase. See
GIT_TRACE for available trace output options.
GIT_TRACE_SHALLOW
Enables trace messages that can help debugging fetching / cloning of shallow repositories. See
GIT_TRACE for available
trace output options.
GIT_TRACE_CURL
Enables a curl full trace dump of all incoming and outgoing data, including descriptive information, of the git transport protocol. This is similar to doing curl
--trace-ascii on the
command line. See
GIT_TRACE for available trace output
options.
GIT_TRACE_CURL_NO_DATA
When a curl trace is enabled (see
GIT_TRACE_CURL above), do
not dump data (that is, only dump info lines and headers).
GIT_TRACE2
Enables more detailed trace messages from the "trace2" library. Output from
GIT_TRACE2 is a simple text-based format
for human readability.
If this variable is set to "1", "2" or "true" (comparison is case insensitive), trace messages will be printed to stderr.
If the variable is set to an integer value greater than 2 and lower than 10 (strictly) then Git will interpret this value as an open file descriptor and will try to write the trace messages into this file descriptor.
Alternatively, if the variable is set to an absolute path (starting with a
/
character), Git will interpret this as a file path and will try to append the trace messages to it. If the path already exists and is a directory, the trace messages will be written to files (one per process) in that directory, named according to the last component of the SID and an optional counter (to avoid filename collisions).
In addition, if the variable is set to
af_unix: [ <socket-type>
] <absolute-pathname> , Git will try to
open the path as a Unix Domain Socket. The socket type can be either
stream or dgram .
Unsetting the variable, or setting it to empty, "0" or "false" (case insensitive) disables trace messages.
See
Trace2 documentation [2] for full details.
GIT_TRACE2_EVENT
This setting writes a JSON-based format that is svitend for machine interpretation. See
GIT_TRACE2 for available trace
output options and
Trace2 documentation [2] for full details.
GIT_TRACE2_PERF
In addition to the text-based messages available in
GIT_TRACE2 , this setting writes a column-based format for
understanding nesting regions. See
GIT_TRACE2 for available
trace output options and
Trace2 documentation [2] for full
details.
GIT_TRACE_REDACT
By default, when tracing is activated, Git redacts the values of cookies, the "Authorization:" header, the "Proxy-Authorization:" header and packfile URIs. Sätt this Boolean environment variable to false to prevent this redaction.
GIT_NO_REPLACE_OBJECTS
Sättting and exporting this environment variable tells Git to ignore replacement refs and do not replace Git objects.
GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS
Sättting this Boolean environment variable to true will cause Git to treat all pathspecs literally, rather than as glob patterns. For example, running
GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS=1 git log
-- '*.c' will search for commits that touch the path
- .c
, not
any paths that the glob
- .c
matches. You might want this if
you are feeding literal paths to Git (e.g., paths previously given to you by
git ls-tree , --raw diff output, etc).
GIT_GLOB_PATHSPECS
Sättting this Boolean environment variable to true will cause Git to treat all pathspecs as glob patterns (aka "glob" magic).
GIT_NOGLOB_PATHSPECS
Sättting this Boolean environment variable to true will cause Git to treat all pathspecs as literal (aka "literal" magic).
GIT_ICASE_PATHSPECS
Sättting this Boolean environment variable to true will cause Git to treat all pathspecs as case-insensitive.
GIT_NO_LAZY_FETCH
Sättting this Boolean environment variable to true tells Git not to lazily fetch missing objects from the promisor remote on demand.
GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
When a ref is updated, reflog entries are created to keep track of the reason why the ref was updated (which is typically the name of the high-level command that updated the ref), in addition to the old and new values of the ref. A scripted Porcelain command can use set_reflog_action helper function in
git-sh-setup to set its name to this variable when
it is invoked as the top level command by the end user, to be recorded in the body of the reflog.
GIT_REF_PARANOIA
If this Boolean environment variable is set to false, ignore broken or badly named refs when iterating over lists of refs. Normally Git will try to include any such refs, which may cause some operations to fail. This is usually preferable, as potentially destructive operations (e.g.,
git-prune(1) ) are
better off aborting rather than ignoring broken refs (and thus considering the history they point to as not worth saving). The default value is
1 (i.e., be paranoid about detecting and
aborting all operations). You should not normally need to set this to
0 , but it may be useful when trying to salvage data
from a corrupted repository.
GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA
When loading a commit object from the commit-graph, Git performs an existence check on the object in the object database. This is done to avoid issues with stale commit-graphs that contain references to already-deleted commits, but comes with a performance penalty.
The default is "false", which disables the aforementioned behavior. Sättting this to "true" enables the existence check so that stale commits will never be returned from the commit-graph at the cost of performance.
GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL
If set to a colon-separated list of protocols, behave as if
protocol.allow is set to never , and each of the listed
protocols has
protocol. <name> .allow set to always (overriding
any existing configuration). Se the description of
protocol.allow in git-config(1)
for more details.
GIT_PROTOCOL_FROM_USER
Sätt this Boolean environment variable to false to prevent protocols used by fetch/push/clone which are configured to the
user state. This is useful to restrict recursive submodule
initialization from an untrusted repository or for programs which feed potentially-untrusted URLS to git commands. See
for more details.
GIT_PROTOCOL
For internal use only. Used in handshaking the wire protocol. Contains a colon
separated list of keys with optional values
<key>[=<value>] . Presence of unknown keys and values must be
ignored.
Note that servers may need to be configured to allow this variable to pass over some transports. It will be propagated automatically when accessing local repositories (i.e.,
file://
or a filesystem path), as well as over the
git:// protocol.
For git-over-http, it should work automatically in most configurations, but see the discussion in
For git-over-ssh, the ssh server may need to be configured to allow clients to pass this variable (e.g., by using
AcceptEnv
GIT_PROTOCOL with OpenSSH).
This configuration is optional. If the variable is not propagated, then clients will fall back to the original "v0" protocol (but may miss out on some performance improvements or features). This variable currently only affects clones and fetches; it is not yet used for pushes (but may be in the future).
GIT_OPTIONAL_LOCKS
If this Boolean environment variable is set to false, Git will complete any requested operation without performing any optional sub-operations that require taking a lock. For example, this will prevent
git status from refreshing the
index as a side effect. This is useful for processes running in the background which do not want to cause lock contention with other operations on the repository. Defaults to
1 .
GIT_REDIRECT_STDIN , GIT_REDIRECT_STDOUT , GIT_REDIRECT_STDERR
Windows-only: allow redirecting the standard input/output/error handles to paths specified by the environment variables. This is particularly useful in multi-threaded applications where the canonical way to pass standard handles via
CreateProcess () is not an option because
it would require the handles to be marked inheritable (and consequently
every spawned process would inherit them,
possibly blocking regular Git operations). The primary intended use case is to use named pipes for communication (e.g.
\\.\pipe\my-git-stdin-123 ).
Two special values are supported:
off will simply close the
corresponding standard handle, and if
GIT_REDIRECT_STDERR is
2 >&1, standard error will be redirected to the same handle as
standard output.
GIT_PRINT_SHA1_ELLIPSIS (deprecated)
If set to
yes , print an ellipsis following an (abbreviated)
SHA-1 value. This affects indications of detached HEADs (‐
git-checkout(1) ) and the raw diff output ( git-diff(1) ).
Printing an ellipsis in the cases mentioned is no longer considered adequate and support for it is likely to be removed in the foreseeable future (along with the variable).
GIT_ADVICE
If set to
0 , then disable all advice messages. These messages
are intended to provide hints to human users that may help them get out of problematic situations or take advantage of new features. Users can disable individual messages using the
advice.* config keys. These messages may be disruptive to
tools that execute Git processes, so this variable is available to disable the messages. (The
--no-advice global
option is also available, but old Git versions may fail when this option is not understood. The environment variable will be ignored by Git versions that do not understand it.)
Diskussion
More detail on the following is available from the Git concepts
chapter of the user-manual [3] and gitcore-tutorial(7) .
A Git project normally consists of a working directory with a ".git" subdirectory at the top level. The .git directory contains, among other things, a compressed object database representing the complete history of the project, an "index" file which links that history to the current contents of the working tree, and named pointers into that history such as tags and branch heads.
The object database contains objects of three main types: blobs, which hold file data; trees, which point to blobs and other trees to build up directory hierarchies; and commits, which each reference a single tree and some number of parent commits.
The commit, equivalent to what other systems call a "changeset" or "version", represents a step in the project’s history, and each parent represents an immediately preceding step. Commits with more than one parent represent merges of independent lines of development.
All objects are named by the SHA-1 hash of their contents, normally written as a string of 40 hex digits. Such names are globally unique. The entire history leading up to a commit can be vouched for by signing just that commit. A fourth object type, the tag, is provided for this purpose.
When first created, objects are stored in individual files, but for efficiency may later be compressed together into "pack files".
Named pointers called refs mark interesting points in history. A ref may contain the SHA-1 name of an object or the name of another ref (the latter is called a "symbolic ref"). Refs with names beginning refs/head/ contain the SHA-1 name of the most recent commit (or "head") of a branch under development. SHA-1 names of tags of interest are stored under refs/tags/ . A symbolic ref named
HEAD contains the name of the currently checked-out branch.
The index file is initialized with a list of all paths and, for each path, a blob object and a set of attributes. The blob object represents the contents of the file as of the head of the current branch. The attributes (last modified time, size, etc.) are taken from the corresponding file in the working tree. Subsequent changes to the working tree can be found by comparing these attributes. The index may be updated with new content, and new commits may be created from the content stored in the index.
The index is also capable of storing multiple entries (called "stages") for a given pathname. These stages are used to hold the various unmerged version of a file when a merge is in progress.
Säkerhet
Vissa konfigurationsalternativ och hook-filer kan få Git att köra godtyckliga skalkommandon. Eftersom konfiguration och hooks inte kopieras med git clone , är det i allmänhet säkert att clone remote repositories with untrusted content, inspect them with git log , and so on.
However, it is not safe to run Git commands in a .git directory (or the working tree that surrounds it) when that .git directory itself comes from an untrusted source. The commands in its config and hooks are executed in the usual way.
By default, Git will refuse to run when the repository is owned by someone other than the user running the command. Se the entry for
safe.directory in git-config(1) . While this can help protect you in a multi-user environment, note that you can also acquire untrusted repositories that are owned by you (for example, if you extract a zip file or tarball from an untrusted source). In such cases, you’d need to "sanitize" the untrusted repository first.
If you have an untrusted .git directory, you should first clone it with git clone --no-local to obtain a clean copy. Git does restrict the set of options and hooks that will be run by
upload-pack , which handles the server side of a clone or fetch, but beware that the surface area for attack against upload-pack is large, so this does carry some risk. The safest thing is to serve the repository as an unprivileged user (either via git-daemon(1) , ssh, or using other tools to change user ids). Se the discussion in the SECURITY section of git-upload-pack(1) .
