to the value of `$HOME` and "{tilde}user/" to the specified user's
home directory. See linkgit:gitignore[5].
+core.askpass::
+ Some commands (e.g. svn and http interfaces) that interactively
+ ask for a password can be told to use an external program given
+ via the value of this variable. Can be overridden by the 'GIT_ASKPASS'
+ environment variable. If not set, fall back to the value of the
+ 'SSH_ASKPASS' environment variable or, failing that, a simple password
+ prompt. The external program shall be given a suitable prompt as
+ command line argument and write the password on its STDOUT.
+
core.editor::
Commands such as `commit` and `tag` that lets you edit
messages by launching an editor uses the value of this
personal `.ssh/config` file. Please consult your ssh documentation
for further details.
+'GIT_ASKPASS'::
+ If this environment variable is set, then git commands which need to
+ acquire passwords or passphrases (e.g. for HTTP or IMAP authentication)
+ will call this program with a suitable prompt as command line argument
+ and read the password from its STDOUT. See also the 'core.askpass'
+ option in linkgit:git-config[1].
+
'GIT_FLUSH'::
If this environment variable is set to "1", then commands such
as 'git blame' (in incremental mode), 'git rev-list', 'git log',
