status.relativePaths::
By default, linkgit:git-status[1] shows paths relative to the
current directory. Setting this variable to `false` shows paths
relative to the repository root (this was the default for Git
prior to v1.5.4).
status.short::
Set to true to enable --short by default in linkgit:git-status[1].
The option --no-short takes precedence over this variable.
status.branch::
Set to true to enable --branch by default in linkgit:git-status[1].
The option --no-branch takes precedence over this variable.
status.aheadBehind::
Set to true to enable `--ahead-behind` and false to enable
`--no-ahead-behind` by default in linkgit:git-status[1] for
non-porcelain status formats. Defaults to true.
status.displayCommentPrefix::
If set to true, linkgit:git-status[1] will insert a comment
prefix before each output line (starting with
`core.commentChar`, i.e. `#` by default). This was the
behavior of linkgit:git-status[1] in Git 1.8.4 and previous.
Defaults to false.
status.renameLimit::
The number of files to consider when performing rename detection
in linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-commit[1]. Defaults to
the value of diff.renameLimit.
status.renames::
Whether and how Git detects renames in linkgit:git-status[1] and
linkgit:git-commit[1] . If set to "false", rename detection is
disabled. If set to "true", basic rename detection is enabled.
If set to "copies" or "copy", Git will detect copies, as well.
Defaults to the value of diff.renames.
status.showStash::
If set to true, linkgit:git-status[1] will display the number of
entries currently stashed away.
Defaults to false.
status.showUntrackedFiles::
By default, linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-commit[1] show
files which are not currently tracked by Git. Directories which
contain only untracked files, are shown with the directory name
only. Showing untracked files means that Git needs to lstat() all
the files in the whole repository, which might be slow on some
systems. So, this variable controls how the commands display
the untracked files. Possible values are:
+
--
* `no` - Show no untracked files.
* `normal` - Show untracked files and directories.
* `all` - Show also individual files in untracked directories.
--
+
If this variable is not specified, it defaults to 'normal'.
All usual spellings for Boolean value `true` are taken as `normal`
and `false` as `no`.
This variable can be overridden with the -u|--untracked-files option
of linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-commit[1].
status.submoduleSummary::
Defaults to false.
If this is set to a non-zero number or true (identical to -1 or an
unlimited number), the submodule summary will be enabled and a
summary of commits for modified submodules will be shown (see
--summary-limit option of linkgit:git-submodule[1]). Please note
that the summary output command will be suppressed for all
submodules when `diff.ignoreSubmodules` is set to 'all' or only
for those submodules where `submodule.<name>.ignore=all`. The only
exception to that rule is that status and commit will show staged
submodule changes. To
also view the summary for ignored submodules you can either use
the --ignore-submodules=dirty command-line option or the 'git
submodule summary' command, which shows a similar output but does
not honor these settings.
