Name
       Git - instructions for configuring git(1)

Description
   git-am(1)
       When applying a patch received via email, store the Message-ID
       header field in the commit message.

           $ git config --global am.messageid true;

   git-diff(1), gitattributes(5)
       To produce useful hunk contexts in manual pages, we need to hack
       git(1)'s idea of a function name, and also to tell git what is a
       manual page.

           $ git config --global diff.man.xfuncname '^\.S[SHsh] .*$';
           $ mkdir -p ~/.config/git/;
           $ echo '*.[0-9]* diff=man' >>~/.config/git/attributes;

   git-format-patch(1)
       Send patches to the right addresses.

           $ git config --local format.to 'Alejandro Colomar <alx@kernel.org>';
           $ git config --local format.cc '<linux-man@vger.kernel.org>';

       Generate patch sets as a thread.

           $ git config --global format.thread shallow;

   git-merge(1)
       We sign all commits.  You should verify the signatures on them.

           $ git config --local merge.verifySignatures true;

   git-send-email(1)
       If mutt(1) or neomutt(1) are configured in the system,
       git-send-email(1) can be configured to use any of them as a
       driver.  Recent versions of neomutt(1) can enable crypto with -C.

           $ git config --global \
                   sendemail.sendmailcmd 'neomutt -C -H - && true';
       or
           $ git config --global sendemail.sendmailcmd 'mutt -H - && true';
