I’ve seen references in other questions to various git variables such as:
- GIT_CURL_VERBOSE
- GIT_SHELL
How can I get a complete list of config variables?

The git man page (
man gitand search for^ENVIRONMENT) has a list of environment variables.As of version 1.7.9.5, there are 24 of them. (
GIT_SHELLis not on that list, and there are no references to it in the git source code.) They all start with"GIT_"except forEMAIL.I’d list them here, but it’s probably more useful to run
man gityourself, to make sure you have the right list for the version you’re using.
