Reference: Configuration

Setting a different remote repo

A remote repo different from origin can be specified in the config file:

$ git config gitflow.origin myorigin

Set git specific environment variables.

With git you can set environment variables to change the default behavior of git. You can set these environment variables just for git-flow.

These environment variables can be set in the file .gitflow_export in your home directory. Example of a .gitflow_export file:

export GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT=no

Environment variables to set flags

The environment variables are named as follows: GITFLOW_FLAG_<COMMAND>_<SUBCOMMAND>_<FLAG> All variables should be in caps.

If the variable is a boolean the following values are valid, the case does not matter:

• Y
• YES
• T
• TRUE
• N
• NO
• F
• FALSE

If the variable represents a string surround the value with double quotes.

This is an overview per command of environment variables you can set. The list is in the form variable - flag - valid value
For reading improvement the prefix GITFLOW_FLAG_ is not show here but should be used using the variables.
