checkout.defaultRemote::
|
|
When you run `git checkout <something>`
|
|
or `git switch <something>` and only have one
|
|
remote, it may implicitly fall back on checking out and
|
|
tracking e.g. `origin/<something>`. This stops working as soon
|
|
as you have more than one remote with a `<something>`
|
|
reference. This setting allows for setting the name of a
|
|
preferred remote that should always win when it comes to
|
|
disambiguation. The typical use-case is to set this to
|
|
`origin`.
|
|
+
|
|
Currently this is used by linkgit:git-switch[1] and
|
|
linkgit:git-checkout[1] when `git checkout <something>`
|
|
or `git switch <something>`
|
|
will checkout the `<something>` branch on another remote,
|
|
and by linkgit:git-worktree[1] when `git worktree add` refers to a
|
|
remote branch. This setting might be used for other checkout-like
|
|
commands or functionality in the future.
|
|
|
|
checkout.guess::
|
|
Provides the default value for the `--guess` or `--no-guess`
|
|
option in `git checkout` and `git switch`. See
|
|
linkgit:git-switch[1] and linkgit:git-checkout[1].
|
|
|
|
checkout.workers::
|
|
The number of parallel workers to use when updating the working tree.
|
|
The default is one, i.e. sequential execution. If set to a value less
|
|
than one, Git will use as many workers as the number of logical cores
|
|
available. This setting and `checkout.thresholdForParallelism` affect
|
|
all commands that perform checkout. E.g. checkout, clone, reset,
|
|
sparse-checkout, etc.
|
|
+
|
|
Note: Parallel checkout usually delivers better performance for repositories
|
|
located on SSDs or over NFS. For repositories on spinning disks and/or machines
|
|
with a small number of cores, the default sequential checkout often performs
|
|
better. The size and compression level of a repository might also influence how
|
|
well the parallel version performs.
|
|
|
|
checkout.thresholdForParallelism::
|
|
When running parallel checkout with a small number of files, the cost
|
|
of subprocess spawning and inter-process communication might outweigh
|
|
the parallelization gains. This setting allows you to define the minimum
|
|
number of files for which parallel checkout should be attempted. The
|
|
default is 100.
