http.proxy::
Override the HTTP proxy, normally configured using the 'http_proxy',
'https_proxy', and 'all_proxy' environment variables (see `curl(1)`). In
addition to the syntax understood by curl, it is possible to specify a
proxy string with a user name but no password, in which case git will
attempt to acquire one in the same way it does for other credentials. See
linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for more information. The syntax thus is
'[protocol://][user[:password]@]proxyhost[:port][/path]'. This can be
overridden on a per-remote basis; see remote.<name>.proxy
+
Any proxy, however configured, must be completely transparent and must not
modify, transform, or buffer the request or response in any way. Proxies which
are not completely transparent are known to cause various forms of breakage
with Git.
http.proxyAuthMethod::
Set the method with which to authenticate against the HTTP proxy. This
only takes effect if the configured proxy string contains a user name part
(i.e. is of the form 'user@host' or 'user@host:port'). This can be
overridden on a per-remote basis; see `remote.<name>.proxyAuthMethod`.
Both can be overridden by the `GIT_HTTP_PROXY_AUTHMETHOD` environment
variable. Possible values are:
+
--
* `anyauth` - Automatically pick a suitable authentication method. It is
assumed that the proxy answers an unauthenticated request with a 407
status code and one or more Proxy-authenticate headers with supported
authentication methods. This is the default.
* `basic` - HTTP Basic authentication
* `digest` - HTTP Digest authentication; this prevents the password from being
transmitted to the proxy in clear text
* `negotiate` - GSS-Negotiate authentication (compare the --negotiate option
of `curl(1)`)
* `ntlm` - NTLM authentication (compare the --ntlm option of `curl(1)`)
--
http.proxySSLCert::
The pathname of a file that stores a client certificate to use to authenticate
with an HTTPS proxy. Can be overridden by the `GIT_PROXY_SSL_CERT` environment
variable.
http.proxySSLKey::
The pathname of a file that stores a private key to use to authenticate with
an HTTPS proxy. Can be overridden by the `GIT_PROXY_SSL_KEY` environment
variable.
http.proxySSLCertPasswordProtected::
Enable Git's password prompt for the proxy SSL certificate. Otherwise OpenSSL
will prompt the user, possibly many times, if the certificate or private key
is encrypted. Can be overridden by the `GIT_PROXY_SSL_CERT_PASSWORD_PROTECTED`
environment variable.
http.proxySSLCAInfo::
Pathname to the file containing the certificate bundle that should be used to
verify the proxy with when using an HTTPS proxy. Can be overridden by the
`GIT_PROXY_SSL_CAINFO` environment variable.
http.emptyAuth::
Attempt authentication without seeking a username or password. This
can be used to attempt GSS-Negotiate authentication without specifying
a username in the URL, as libcurl normally requires a username for
authentication.
http.proactiveAuth::
Attempt authentication without first making an unauthenticated attempt and
receiving a 401 response. This can be used to ensure that all requests are
authenticated. If `http.emptyAuth` is set to true, this value has no effect.
+
If the credential helper used specifies an authentication scheme (i.e., via the
`authtype` field), that value will be used; if a username and password is
provided without a scheme, then Basic authentication is used. The value of the
option determines the scheme requested from the helper. Possible values are:
+
--
* `basic` - Request Basic authentication from the helper.
* `auto` - Allow the helper to pick an appropriate scheme.
* `none` - Disable proactive authentication.
--
+
Note that TLS should always be used with this configuration, since otherwise it
is easy to accidentally expose plaintext credentials if Basic authentication
is selected.
http.delegation::
Control GSSAPI credential delegation. The delegation is disabled
by default in libcurl since version 7.21.7. Set parameter to tell
the server what it is allowed to delegate when it comes to user
credentials. Used with GSS/kerberos. Possible values are:
+
--
* `none` - Don't allow any delegation.
* `policy` - Delegates if and only if the OK-AS-DELEGATE flag is set in the
Kerberos service ticket, which is a matter of realm policy.
* `always` - Unconditionally allow the server to delegate.
--
http.extraHeader::
Pass an additional HTTP header when communicating with a server. If
more than one such entry exists, all of them are added as extra
headers. To allow overriding the settings inherited from the system
config, an empty value will reset the extra headers to the empty list.
http.cookieFile::
The pathname of a file containing previously stored cookie lines,
which should be used
in the Git http session, if they match the server. The file format
of the file to read cookies from should be plain HTTP headers or
the Netscape/Mozilla cookie file format (see `curl(1)`).
Set it to an empty string, to accept only new cookies from
the server and send them back in successive requests within same
connection.
NOTE that the file specified with http.cookieFile is used only as
input unless http.saveCookies is set.
http.saveCookies::
If set, store cookies received during requests to the file specified by
http.cookieFile. Has no effect if http.cookieFile is unset, or set to
an empty string.
http.version::
Use the specified HTTP protocol version when communicating with a server.
If you want to force the default. The available and default version depend
on libcurl. Currently the possible values of
this option are:
- HTTP/2
- HTTP/1.1
http.curloptResolve::
Hostname resolution information that will be used first by
libcurl when sending HTTP requests. This information should
be in one of the following formats:
- [+]HOST:PORT:ADDRESS[,ADDRESS]
- -HOST:PORT
+
The first format redirects all requests to the given `HOST:PORT`
to the provided `ADDRESS`(s). The second format clears all
previous config values for that `HOST:PORT` combination. To
allow easy overriding of all the settings inherited from the
system config, an empty value will reset all resolution
information to the empty list.
http.sslVersion::
The SSL version to use when negotiating an SSL connection, if you
want to force the default. The available and default version
depend on whether libcurl was built against NSS or OpenSSL and the
particular configuration of the crypto library in use. Internally
this sets the 'CURLOPT_SSL_VERSION' option; see the libcurl
documentation for more details on the format of this option and
for the ssl version supported. Currently the possible values of
this option are:
- sslv2
- sslv3
- tlsv1
- tlsv1.0
- tlsv1.1
- tlsv1.2
- tlsv1.3
+
Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_VERSION` environment variable.
To force git to use libcurl's default ssl version and ignore any
explicit http.sslversion option, set `GIT_SSL_VERSION` to the
empty string.
http.sslCipherList::
A list of SSL ciphers to use when negotiating an SSL connection.
The available ciphers depend on whether libcurl was built against
NSS or OpenSSL and the particular configuration of the crypto
library in use. Internally this sets the 'CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST'
option; see the libcurl documentation for more details on the format
of this list.
+
Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST` environment variable.
To force git to use libcurl's default cipher list and ignore any
explicit http.sslCipherList option, set `GIT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST` to the
empty string.
http.sslVerify::
Whether to verify the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing
over HTTPS. Defaults to true. Can be overridden by the
`GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY` environment variable.
http.sslCert::
File containing the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing
over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_CERT` environment
variable.
http.sslKey::
File containing the SSL private key when fetching or pushing
over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_KEY` environment
variable.
http.sslCertPasswordProtected::
Enable Git's password prompt for the SSL certificate. Otherwise
OpenSSL will prompt the user, possibly many times, if the
certificate or private key is encrypted. Can be overridden by the
`GIT_SSL_CERT_PASSWORD_PROTECTED` environment variable.
http.sslCAInfo::
File containing the certificates to verify the peer with when
fetching or pushing over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the
`GIT_SSL_CAINFO` environment variable.
http.sslCAPath::
Path containing files with the CA certificates to verify the peer
with when fetching or pushing over HTTPS. Can be overridden
by the `GIT_SSL_CAPATH` environment variable.
http.sslBackend::
Name of the SSL backend to use (e.g. "openssl" or "schannel").
This option is ignored if cURL lacks support for choosing the SSL
backend at runtime.
http.schannelCheckRevoke::
Used to enforce or disable certificate revocation checks in cURL
when http.sslBackend is set to "schannel". Defaults to `true` if
unset. Only necessary to disable this if Git consistently errors
and the message is about checking the revocation status of a
certificate. This option is ignored if cURL lacks support for
setting the relevant SSL option at runtime.
http.schannelUseSSLCAInfo::
As of cURL v7.60.0, the Secure Channel backend can use the
certificate bundle provided via `http.sslCAInfo`, but that would
override the Windows Certificate Store. Since this is not desirable
by default, Git will tell cURL not to use that bundle by default
when the `schannel` backend was configured via `http.sslBackend`,
unless `http.schannelUseSSLCAInfo` overrides this behavior.
http.pinnedPubkey::
Public key of the https service. It may either be the filename of
a PEM or DER encoded public key file or a string starting with
'sha256//' followed by the base64 encoded sha256 hash of the
public key. See also libcurl 'CURLOPT_PINNEDPUBLICKEY'. git will
exit with an error if this option is set but not supported by
cURL.
http.sslTry::
Attempt to use AUTH SSL/TLS and encrypted data transfers
when connecting via regular FTP protocol. This might be needed
if the FTP server requires it for security reasons or you wish
to connect securely whenever remote FTP server supports it.
Default is false since it might trigger certificate verification
errors on misconfigured servers.
http.maxRequests::
How many HTTP requests to launch in parallel. Can be overridden
by the `GIT_HTTP_MAX_REQUESTS` environment variable. Default is 5.
http.minSessions::
The number of curl sessions (counted across slots) to be kept across
requests. They will not be ended with curl_easy_cleanup() until
http_cleanup() is invoked. If USE_CURL_MULTI is not defined, this
value will be capped at 1. Defaults to 1.
http.postBuffer::
Maximum size in bytes of the buffer used by smart HTTP
transports when POSTing data to the remote system.
For requests larger than this buffer size, HTTP/1.1 and
Transfer-Encoding: chunked is used to avoid creating a
massive pack file locally. Default is 1 MiB, which is
sufficient for most requests.
+
Note that raising this limit is only effective for disabling chunked
transfer encoding and therefore should be used only where the remote
server or a proxy only supports HTTP/1.0 or is noncompliant with the
HTTP standard. Raising this is not, in general, an effective solution
for most push problems, but can increase memory consumption
significantly since the entire buffer is allocated even for small
pushes.
http.lowSpeedLimit, http.lowSpeedTime::
If the HTTP transfer speed, in bytes per second, is less than
'http.lowSpeedLimit' for longer than 'http.lowSpeedTime' seconds,
the transfer is aborted.
Can be overridden by the `GIT_HTTP_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT` and
`GIT_HTTP_LOW_SPEED_TIME` environment variables.
http.noEPSV::
A boolean which disables using of EPSV ftp command by curl.
This can be helpful with some "poor" ftp servers which don't
support EPSV mode. Can be overridden by the `GIT_CURL_FTP_NO_EPSV`
environment variable. Default is false (curl will use EPSV).
http.userAgent::
The HTTP USER_AGENT string presented to an HTTP server. The default
value represents the version of the Git client such as git/1.7.1.
This option allows you to override this value to a more common value
such as Mozilla/4.0. This may be necessary, for instance, if
connecting through a firewall that restricts HTTP connections to a set
of common USER_AGENT strings (but not including those like git/1.7.1).
Can be overridden by the `GIT_HTTP_USER_AGENT` environment variable.
http.followRedirects::
Whether git should follow HTTP redirects. If set to `true`, git
will transparently follow any redirect issued by a server it
encounters. If set to `false`, git will treat all redirects as
errors. If set to `initial`, git will follow redirects only for
the initial request to a remote, but not for subsequent
follow-up HTTP requests. Since git uses the redirected URL as
the base for the follow-up requests, this is generally
sufficient. The default is `initial`.
http.<url>.*::
Any of the http.* options above can be applied selectively to some URLs.
For a config key to match a URL, each element of the config key is
compared to that of the URL, in the following order:
+
--
. Scheme (e.g., `https` in `https://example.com/`). This field
must match exactly between the config key and the URL.
. Host/domain name (e.g., `example.com` in `https://example.com/`).
This field must match between the config key and the URL. It is
possible to specify a `*` as part of the host name to match all subdomains
at this level. `https://*.example.com/` for example would match
`https://foo.example.com/`, but not `https://foo.bar.example.com/`.
. Port number (e.g., `8080` in `http://example.com:8080/`).
This field must match exactly between the config key and the URL.
Omitted port numbers are automatically converted to the correct
default for the scheme before matching.
. Path (e.g., `repo.git` in `https://example.com/repo.git`). The
path field of the config key must match the path field of the URL
either exactly or as a prefix of slash-delimited path elements. This means
a config key with path `foo/` matches URL path `foo/bar`. A prefix can only
match on a slash (`/`) boundary. Longer matches take precedence (so a config
key with path `foo/bar` is a better match to URL path `foo/bar` than a config
key with just path `foo/`).
. User name (e.g., `user` in `https://[email protected]/repo.git`). If
the config key has a user name it must match the user name in the
URL exactly. If the config key does not have a user name, that
config key will match a URL with any user name (including none),
but at a lower precedence than a config key with a user name.
--
+
The list above is ordered by decreasing precedence; a URL that matches
a config key's path is preferred to one that matches its user name. For example,
if the URL is `https://[email protected]/foo/bar` a config key match of
`https://example.com/foo` will be preferred over a config key match of
`https://[email protected]`.
+
All URLs are normalized before attempting any matching (the password part,
if embedded in the URL, is always ignored for matching purposes) so that
equivalent URLs that are simply spelled differently will match properly.
Environment variable settings always override any matches. The URLs that are
matched against are those given directly to Git commands. This means any URLs
visited as a result of a redirection do not participate in matching.
