        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&#8217;t be resolved;
        e.g.,
        <em>GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=/maybe/symlink::/very/slow/non/symlink</em>.

<em>GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        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 environment variable
        can be set to true to tell Git not to stop at filesystem
        boundaries.  Like <em>GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES</em>, this will not affect
        an explicit repository directory set via <em>GIT_DIR</em> or on the
        command line.

        If this environment variable is set then <em>git fetch</em>
        and <em>git push</em> will use this command instead
        of <em>ssh</em> when they need to connect to a remote system.
        The <em>$GIT_SSH</em> command will be given exactly two or
        four arguments: the <em>username@host</em> (or just <em>host</em>)
        from the URL and the shell command to execute on that
        remote system, optionally preceded by <em>-p</em> (literally) and
        the <em>port</em> from the URL when it specifies something other
        than the default SSH port.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>To pass options to the program that you want to list in GIT_SSH
you will need to wrap the program and options into a shell script,
then set GIT_SSH to refer to the shell script.</p></div>

<p>
        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. See also the <em>core.askpass</em>

        Whether to skip reading settings from the system-wide
        <code>$(prefix)/etc/gitconfig</code> file.  This environment variable can
        be used along with <code>$HOME</code> and <code>$XDG_CONFIG_HOME</code> to create a
        predictable environment for a picky script, or you can set it
        temporarily to avoid using a buggy <code>/etc/gitconfig</code> file while
        waiting for someone with sufficient permissions to fix it.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>GIT_FLUSH</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        If this environment variable is set to "1", then commands such
        as <em>git blame</em> (in incremental mode), <em>git rev-list</em>, <em>git log</em>,
        and <em>git whatchanged</em> will force a flush of the output stream
        after each commit-oriented record have been flushed.   If this
        variable is set to "0", 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.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>GIT_TRACE</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        If this variable is set to "1", "2" or "true" (comparison
        is case insensitive), Git will print <code>trace:</code> messages on
        stderr telling about alias expansion, built-in command
        execution and external command execution.
        If this variable is set to an integer value greater than 1
        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 this variable is set to an absolute path
        (starting with a <em>/</em> character), Git will interpret this
        as a file path and will try to write the trace messages
        into it.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Setting this variable to <code>1</code> will cause Git to treat all
        pathspecs literally, rather than as glob patterns. For example,
        running <code>GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS=1 git log -- '*.c'</code> will search
        for commits that touch the path <code>*.c</code>, not any paths that the
        glob <code>*.c</code> matches. You might want this if you are feeding
        literal paths to Git (e.g., paths previously given to you by
        <code>git ls-tree</code>, <code>--raw</code> diff output, etc).
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<code>GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL</code>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
   If set, provide a colon-separated list of protocols which are
   allowed to be used with fetch/push/clone. This is useful to
   restrict recursive submodule initialization from an untrusted
   repository. Any protocol not mentioned will be disallowed (i.e.,
   this is a whitelist, not a blacklist). If the variable is not
   set at all, all protocols are enabled.  The protocol names
   currently used by git are:
</p>
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
<code>file</code>: any local file-based path (including <code>file://</code> URLs,
       or local paths)
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code>git</code>: the anonymous git protocol over a direct TCP
       connection (or proxy, if configured)
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code>ssh</code>: git over ssh (including <code>host:path</code> syntax,
       <code>git+ssh://</code>, etc).
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code>rsync</code>: git over rsync
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code>http</code>: git over http, both "smart http" and "dumb http".
       Note that this does <em>not</em> include <code>https</code>; if you want both,
       you should specify both as <code>http:https</code>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
any external helpers are named by their protocol (e.g., use
       <code>hg</code> to allow the <code>git-remote-hg</code> helper)
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Note that this controls only git&#8217;s internal protocol selection.
If libcurl is used (e.g., by the <code>http</code> transport), it may
redirect to other protocols. There is not currently any way to
restrict this.</p></div>

<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>More detail on the following is available from the
<a href="user-manual.html#git-concepts">Git concepts chapter of the
user-manual</a> and <a href="gitcore-tutorial.html">gitcore-tutorial(7)</a>.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>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.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>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.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The commit, equivalent to what other systems call a "changeset" or
"version", represents a step in the project&#8217;s history, and each parent
represents an immediately preceding step.  Commits with more than one
parent represent merges of independent lines of development.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>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.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>When first created, objects are stored in individual files, but for
efficiency may later be compressed together into "pack files".</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>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.  Refs
with names beginning <code>ref/head/</code> 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 <code>ref/tags/</code>.  A special ref named
<code>HEAD</code> contains the name of the currently checked-out branch.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>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.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>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.</p></div>
