1 receive.advertiseAtomic::
2 By default, git-receive-pack will advertise the atomic push
3 capability to its clients. If you don't want to advertise this
4 capability, set this variable to false.
6 receive.advertisePushOptions::
7 When set to true, git-receive-pack will advertise the push options
8 capability to its clients. False by default.
11 By default, git-receive-pack will run "git-gc --auto" after
12 receiving data from git-push and updating refs. You can stop
13 it by setting this variable to false.
15 receive.certNonceSeed::
16 By setting this variable to a string, `git receive-pack`
17 will accept a `git push --signed` and verifies it by using
18 a "nonce" protected by HMAC using this string as a secret
21 receive.certNonceSlop::
22 When a `git push --signed` sent a push certificate with a
23 "nonce" that was issued by a receive-pack serving the same
24 repository within this many seconds, export the "nonce"
25 found in the certificate to `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE` to the
26 hooks (instead of what the receive-pack asked the sending
27 side to include). This may allow writing checks in
28 `pre-receive` and `post-receive` a bit easier. Instead of
29 checking `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_SLOP` environment variable
30 that records by how many seconds the nonce is stale to
31 decide if they want to accept the certificate, they only
32 can check `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS` is `OK`.
35 If it is set to true, git-receive-pack will check all received
36 objects. See `transfer.fsckObjects` for what's checked.
37 Defaults to false. If not set, the value of
38 `transfer.fsckObjects` is used instead.
40 receive.fsck.<msg-id>::
41 Acts like `fsck.<msg-id>`, but is used by
42 linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] instead of
43 linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See the `fsck.<msg-id>` documentation for
46 receive.fsck.skipList::
47 Acts like `fsck.skipList`, but is used by
48 linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] instead of
49 linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See the `fsck.skipList` documentation for
53 After receiving the pack from the client, `receive-pack` may
54 produce no output (if `--quiet` was specified) while processing
55 the pack, causing some networks to drop the TCP connection.
56 With this option set, if `receive-pack` does not transmit
57 any data in this phase for `receive.keepAlive` seconds, it will
58 send a short keepalive packet. The default is 5 seconds; set
59 to 0 to disable keepalives entirely.
62 If the number of objects received in a push is below this
63 limit then the objects will be unpacked into loose object
64 files. However if the number of received objects equals or
65 exceeds this limit then the received pack will be stored as
66 a pack, after adding any missing delta bases. Storing the
67 pack from a push can make the push operation complete faster,
68 especially on slow filesystems. If not set, the value of
69 `transfer.unpackLimit` is used instead.
71 receive.maxInputSize::
72 If the size of the incoming pack stream is larger than this
73 limit, then git-receive-pack will error out, instead of
74 accepting the pack file. If not set or set to 0, then the size
78 If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update that deletes
79 the ref. Use this to prevent such a ref deletion via a push.
81 receive.denyDeleteCurrent::
82 If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update that
83 deletes the currently checked out branch of a non-bare repository.
85 receive.denyCurrentBranch::
86 If set to true or "refuse", git-receive-pack will deny a ref update
87 to the currently checked out branch of a non-bare repository.
88 Such a push is potentially dangerous because it brings the HEAD
89 out of sync with the index and working tree. If set to "warn",
90 print a warning of such a push to stderr, but allow the push to
91 proceed. If set to false or "ignore", allow such pushes with no
92 message. Defaults to "refuse".
94 Another option is "updateInstead" which will update the working
95 tree if pushing into the current branch. This option is
96 intended for synchronizing working directories when one side is not easily
97 accessible via interactive ssh (e.g. a live web site, hence the requirement
98 that the working directory be clean). This mode also comes in handy when
99 developing inside a VM to test and fix code on different Operating Systems.
101 By default, "updateInstead" will refuse the push if the working tree or
102 the index have any difference from the HEAD, but the `push-to-checkout`
103 hook can be used to customize this. See linkgit:githooks[5].
105 receive.denyNonFastForwards::
106 If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update which is
107 not a fast-forward. Use this to prevent such an update via a push,
108 even if that push is forced. This configuration variable is
109 set when initializing a shared repository.
112 This variable is the same as `transfer.hideRefs`, but applies
113 only to `receive-pack` (and so affects pushes, but not fetches).
114 An attempt to update or delete a hidden ref by `git push` is
117 receive.updateServerInfo::
118 If set to true, git-receive-pack will run git-update-server-info
119 after receiving data from git-push and updating refs.
121 receive.shallowUpdate::
122 If set to true, .git/shallow can be updated when new refs
123 require new shallow roots. Otherwise those refs are rejected.
