+remote.pushDefault::
+ The remote to push to by default. Overrides
+ `branch.<name>.remote` for all branches, and is overridden by
+ `branch.<name>.pushRemote` for specific branches.
+
+remote.<name>.url::
+ The URL of a remote repository. See linkgit:git-fetch[1] or
+ linkgit:git-push[1]. A configured remote can have multiple URLs;
+ in this case the first is used for fetching, and all are used
+ for pushing (assuming no `remote.<name>.pushurl` is defined).
+ Setting this key to the empty string clears the list of urls,
+ allowing you to override earlier config.
+
+remote.<name>.pushurl::
+ The push URL of a remote repository. See linkgit:git-push[1].
+ If a `pushurl` option is present in a configured remote, it
+ is used for pushing instead of `remote.<name>.url`. A configured
+ remote can have multiple push URLs; in this case a push goes to
+ all of them. Setting this key to the empty string clears the
+ list of urls, allowing you to override earlier config.
+
+remote.<name>.proxy::
+ For remotes that require curl (http, https and ftp), the URL to
+ the proxy to use for that remote. Set to the empty string to
+ disable proxying for that remote.
+
+remote.<name>.proxyAuthMethod::
+ For remotes that require curl (http, https and ftp), the method to use for
+ authenticating against the proxy in use (probably set in
+ `remote.<name>.proxy`). See `http.proxyAuthMethod`.
+
+remote.<name>.fetch::
+ The default set of "refspec" for linkgit:git-fetch[1]. See
+ linkgit:git-fetch[1].
+
+remote.<name>.push::
+ The default set of "refspec" for linkgit:git-push[1]. See
+ linkgit:git-push[1].
+
+remote.<name>.mirror::
+ If true, pushing to this remote will automatically behave
+ as if the `--mirror` option was given on the command line.
+
+remote.<name>.skipDefaultUpdate::
+ A deprecated synonym to `remote.<name>.skipFetchAll` (if
+ both are set in the configuration files with different
+ values, the value of the last occurrence will be used).
+
+remote.<name>.skipFetchAll::
+ If true, this remote will be skipped when updating
+ using linkgit:git-fetch[1], the `update` subcommand of
+ linkgit:git-remote[1], and ignored by the prefetch task
+ of `git maintenance`.
+
+remote.<name>.receivepack::
+ The default program to execute on the remote side when pushing. See
+ option --receive-pack of linkgit:git-push[1].
+
+remote.<name>.uploadpack::
+ The default program to execute on the remote side when fetching. See
+ option --upload-pack of linkgit:git-fetch-pack[1].
+
+remote.<name>.tagOpt::
+ Setting this value to --no-tags disables automatic tag following when
+ fetching from remote <name>. Setting it to --tags will fetch every
+ tag from remote <name>, even if they are not reachable from remote
+ branch heads. Passing these flags directly to linkgit:git-fetch[1] can
+ override this setting. See options --tags and --no-tags of
+ linkgit:git-fetch[1].
+
+remote.<name>.vcs::
+ Setting this to a value <vcs> will cause Git to interact with
+ the remote with the git-remote-<vcs> helper.
+
+remote.<name>.prune::
+ When set to true, fetching from this remote by default will also
+ remove any remote-tracking references that no longer exist on the
+ remote (as if the `--prune` option was given on the command line).
+ Overrides `fetch.prune` settings, if any.
+
+remote.<name>.pruneTags::
+ When set to true, fetching from this remote by default will also
+ remove any local tags that no longer exist on the remote if pruning
+ is activated in general via `remote.<name>.prune`, `fetch.prune` or
+ `--prune`. Overrides `fetch.pruneTags` settings, if any.
++
+See also `remote.<name>.prune` and the PRUNING section of
+linkgit:git-fetch[1].
+
+remote.<name>.promisor::
+ When set to true, this remote will be used to fetch promisor
+ objects.
+
+remote.<name>.partialclonefilter::
+ The filter that will be applied when fetching from this promisor remote.
+ Changing or clearing this value will only affect fetches for new commits.
+ To fetch associated objects for commits already present in the local object
+ database, use the `--refetch` option of linkgit:git-fetch[1].
+
+remote.<name>.serverOption::
+ The default set of server options used when fetching from this remote.
+ These server options can be overridden by the `--server-option=` command
+ line arguments.
++
+This is a multi-valued variable, and an empty value can be used in a higher
+priority configuration file (e.g. `.git/config` in a repository) to clear
+the values inherited from a lower priority configuration files (e.g.
+`$HOME/.gitconfig`).
+
+remote.<name>.followRemoteHEAD::
+ How linkgit:git-fetch[1] should handle updates to `remotes/<name>/HEAD`
+ when fetching using the configured refspecs of a remote.
+ The default value is "create", which will create `remotes/<name>/HEAD`
+ if it exists on the remote, but not locally; this will not touch an
+ already existing local reference. Setting it to "warn" will print
+ a message if the remote has a different value than the local one;
+ in case there is no local reference, it behaves like "create".
+ A variant on "warn" is "warn-if-not-$branch", which behaves like
+ "warn", but if `HEAD` on the remote is `$branch` it will be silent.
+ Setting it to "always" will silently update `remotes/<name>/HEAD` to
+ the value on the remote. Finally, setting it to "never" will never
+ change or create the local reference.
