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