rebase

rebase.backend
Default backend to use for rebasing. Possible choices are ’apply’ or ’merge’. In the future, if the merge backend gains all remaining capabilities of the apply backend, this setting may become unused.

rebase.stat
Whether to show a diffstat of what changed upstream since the last rebase. False by default.

rebase.autoSquash
If set to true, enable the --autosquash option of linkgit:git-rebase[1] by default for interactive mode. This can be overridden with the --no-autosquash option.

rebase.autoStash
When set to true, automatically create a temporary stash entry before the operation begins, and apply it after the operation ends. This means that you can run rebase on a dirty worktree. However, use with care: the final stash application after a successful rebase might result in non-trivial conflicts. This option can be overridden by the --no-autostash and --autostash options of linkgit:git-rebase[1]. Defaults to false.

rebase.updateRefs
If set to true enable --update-refs option by default.

rebase.missingCommitsCheck
If set to "warn", git rebase -i will print a warning if some commits are removed (e.g. a line was deleted), however the rebase will still proceed. If set to "error", it will print the previous warning and stop the rebase, ’git rebase --edit-todo’ can then be used to correct the error. If set to "ignore", no checking is done. To drop a commit without warning or error, use the drop command in the todo list. Defaults to "ignore".

rebase.instructionFormat
A format string, as specified in linkgit:git-log[1], to be used for the todo list during an interactive rebase. The format will automatically have the commit hash prepended to the format.

rebase.abbreviateCommands
If set to true, git rebase will use abbreviated command names in the todo list resulting in something like this:

    p deadbee The oneline of the commit
    p fa1afe1 The oneline of the next commit
    ...

instead of:

    pick deadbee The oneline of the commit
    pick fa1afe1 The oneline of the next commit
    ...

Defaults to false.

rebase.rescheduleFailedExec
Automatically reschedule exec commands that failed. This only makes sense in interactive mode (or when an --exec option was provided). This is the same as specifying the --reschedule-failed-exec option.

rebase.forkPoint
If set to false set --no-fork-point option by default.

rebase.rebaseMerges
Whether and how to set the --rebase-merges option by default. Can be rebase-cousins, no-rebase-cousins, or a boolean. Setting to true or to no-rebase-cousins is equivalent to --rebase-merges=no-rebase-cousins, setting to rebase-cousins is equivalent to --rebase-merges=rebase-cousins, and setting to false is equivalent to --no-rebase-merges. Passing --rebase-merges on the command line, with or without an argument, overrides any rebase.rebaseMerges configuration.

rebase.maxLabelLength
When generating label names from commit subjects, truncate the names to this length. By default, the names are truncated to a little less than NAME_MAX (to allow e.g. .lock files to be written for the corresponding loose refs).
