commands. If the option '--all' or '-a' is given then all
- available commands are printed. If a git command is named this
+ 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
because `git --help ...` is converted internally into `git
help ...`.
+-C <path>::
+ Run as if git was started in '<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>`.
++
+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>::
Pass a configuration parameter to the command. 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.
--exec-path[=<path>]::
- Path to wherever your core git programs are installed.
+ Path to wherever your core Git programs are installed.
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::

documentation is installed and exit.

for the base of the repository.
+ The '--git-dir' command-line option also sets this value.
'GIT_WORK_TREE'::

+ `$(prefix)/etc/gitconfig` file. This environment variable can
+ be used along with `$HOME` and `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` to create a
+ predictable environment for a picky script, or you can set it
+ temporarily to avoid using a buggy `/etc/gitconfig` file while
+ waiting for someone with sufficient permissions to fix it.
+
'GIT_FLUSH'::
If this environment variable is set to "1", then commands such
as 'git blame' (in incremental mode), 'git rev-list', 'git log',
- and 'git whatchanged' will force a flush of the output stream
- after each commit-oriented record have been flushed. If this
+ 'git check-attr' and 'git check-ignore' will

- not set, git will choose buffered or record-oriented flushing
+ 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'::
- If this variable is set to "1", "2" or "true" (comparison
- is case insensitive), git will print `trace:` 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 '/' character), git will interpret this
- as a file path and will try to write the trace messages
- into it.
+ 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 write the trace messages
+into it.
++
+Unsetting the variable, or setting it to empty, "0" or
+"false" (case insensitive) disables trace messages.
+
+'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".
+ See 'GIT_TRACE' for available trace output options.
+
+'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_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_LITERAL_PATHSPECS::
+ Setting this variable to `1` 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::
+ Setting this variable to `1` will cause Git to treat all
+ pathspecs as glob patterns (aka "glob" magic).
+
+GIT_NOGLOB_PATHSPECS::
+ Setting this variable to `1` will cause Git to treat all
+ pathspecs as literal (aka "literal" magic).
+
+GIT_ICASE_PATHSPECS::
+ Setting this variable to `1` will cause Git to treat all
+ pathspecs as case-insensitive.
+
+'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.
