Some places in the code confused a variable that is *not* a boolean to enable color but is an enum that records what the user requested to do about color.

2025-09-16color: use git_colorbool enum type to store colorboolsJeff King
We traditionally used "int" to store and pass around the values defined by "enum git_colorbool" (which were originally just #define macros). Using an int doesn't produce incorrect results, but using the actual enum makes the intent of the code more clear. It would be nice if the compiler could catch cases where we used the enum and an int interchangeably, since it's very easy to accidentally check the boolean true/false of a colorbool like: if (branch_use_color) This is wrong because GIT_COLOR_UNKNOWN and GIT_COLOR_AUTO evaluate to true in C, even though we may ultimately decide not to use color. But C is pretty happy to convert between ints and enums (even with various -Wenum-* warnings). So this sadly doesn't protect us from such mistakes, but it hopefully does make the code easier to read.

2025-09-16color: use GIT_COLOR_* instead of numeric constantsJeff King
Long ago Git's decision to show color for a subsytem was stored in a tri-state variable: it could be true (1), false (0), or unknown (-1). But since daa0c3d971 (color: delay auto-color decision until point of use, 2011-08-17) we want to carry around a new state, "auto", which bases the decision on the tty-ness of stdout (rather than collapsing that "auto" state to a true/false immediately). That commit introduced a set of GIT_COLOR_* defines to represent each state: UNKNOWN, ALWAYS, NEVER, and AUTO. But it only used the AUTO value, and left alone code using bare 0/1/-1 values. And of course since then we've grown many new spots that use those bare values. Let's switch all of these to use the named constants. That should make the code a bit easier to read, as it is more obvious that we're representing a color decision.

2025-08-26config: warn on core.commentString=autoPhillip Wood
As support for this setting was deprecated in the last commit print a warning (or die when WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES is enabled) if it is set. Avoid bombarding the user with warnings by only printing it (a) when running commands that call "git commit" and (b) only once per command. Some scaffolding is added to repo_read_config() to allow it to detect deprecated config settings and warn about them. As both "core.commentChar" and "core.commentString" set the comment character we record which one of them is used and tailor the warning message appropriately. Note the odd combination of die_message() followed by die(NULL) is to allow the next commit to insert a call to advise() in the middle.

2025-08-26breaking-changes: deprecate support for core.commentString=autoPhillip Wood
When "core.commentString" is set to "auto" then "git commit" will automatically select the comment character ensuring that it is not the first character on any of the lines in the commit message. This was introduced by commit 84c9dc2c5a2 (commit: allow core.commentChar=auto for character auto selection, 2014-05-17). The motivation seems to be to avoid commenting out lines from the existing message when amending a commit that was created with a message from a file. Unfortunately this feature does not work with: * commit message templates that contain comments. * prepare-commit-msg hooks that introduce comments. * "git commit --cleanup=strip --edit -F <file>" which means that it is incompatible with - the "fixup" and "squash" commands of "git rebase -i" as the comments added by those commands are then treated as part of the commit message. - the conflict comments added to the commit message by "git cherry-pick", "git rebase" etc. as these comments are then treated as part of the commit message. It is also ignored by "git notes" when amending a note. The issues with comments coming from a template, hook or file are a consequence of the design of this feature and are therefore hard to fix. As the costs of this feature outweigh the benefits, deprecate it and remove it in Git 3.0. If someone comes up with some patches that fix all the issues in a maintainable way then I'd be happy to see this change reverted. The next commits will add a warning and some advice for users on how they can update their config settings.

2025-07-29add-patch: add diff.context command line overridesLeon Michalak
This patch compliments the previous commit, where builtins that use add-patch infrastructure now respect diff.context and diff.interHunkContext file configurations. In particular, this patch helps users who don't want to set persistent context configurations or just want a way to override them on a one-time basis, by allowing the relevant builtins to accept corresponding command line options that override the file configurations. This mimics commands such as diff and log, which allow for both context file configuration and command line overrides.

2025-07-23config: drop `git_config()` wrapperPatrick Steinhardt
In 036876a1067 (config: hide functions using `the_repository` by default, 2024-08-13) we have moved around a bunch of functions in the config subsystem that depend on `the_repository`. Those function have been converted into mere wrappers around their equivalent function that takes in a repository as parameter, and the intent was that we'll eventually remove those wrappers to make the dependency on the global repository variable explicit at the callsite. Follow through with that intent and remove `git_config()`. All callsites are adjusted so that they use `repo_config(the_repository, ...)` instead. While some callsites might already have a repository available, this mechanical conversion is the exact same as the current situation and thus cannot cause any regression. Those sites should eventually be cleaned up in a later patch series. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-07-16commit: avoid scanning trailing comments when 'core.commentChar' is "auto"Ayush Chandekar
When core.commentChar is set to "auto", Git selects a comment character by scanning the commit message contents and avoiding any character already present in the message. If the message still contains old conflict comments (starting with a comment character), Git assumes that character is in use and chooses a different one. As a result, those existing comment lines are no longer recognized as comments and end up being included in the final commit message. To avoid this, skip scanning the trailing comment block when selecting the comment character. This allows Git to safely reuse the original character when appropriate, keeping the commit message clean and free of leftover conflict information. Background: The "auto" value for core.commentchar was introduced in the commit 84c9dc2c5a (commit: allow core.commentChar=auto for character auto selection, 2014-05-17) but did not exhibit this issue at that time. The bug was introduced in commit a6c2654f83 (rebase -m: fix --signoff with conflicts, 2024-04-18) where Git started writing conflict comments to the file at 'rebase_path_message()'.

The difference of two unsigned integers is defined to be unsigned, and therefore it is misleading to check whether it is greater than zero (instead, the more natural way would be to check whether the difference is zero or not). Let's instead avoid the subtraction altogether, and compare the two operands directly, which makes the code more obvious as a side effect.

2025-04-17global: use designated initializers for optionsPatrick Steinhardt
While we expose macros for most of our different option types understood by the "parse-options" subsystem, not every combination of fields that has one as that would otherwise quickly lead to an explosion of macros. Instead, we just initialize structures manually for those variants of fields that don't have a macro. Callsites that open-code these structure initialization don't use designated initializers though and instead just provide values for each of the fields that they want to initialize. This has three significant downsides: - Callsites need to specify all values up to the last field that they care about. This often includes fields that should simply be left at their default zero-initialized state, which adds distraction. - Any reader not deeply familiar with the layout of the structure has a hard time figuring out what the respective initializers mean. - Reordering or introducing new fields in the middle of the structure is impossible without adapting all callsites. Convert all sites to instead use designated initializers, which we have started using in our codebase quite a while ago. This allows us to skip any default-initialized fields, gives the reader context by specifying the field names and allows us to reorder or introduce new fields where we want to.

2025-02-28path: drop `git_path()` in favor of `repo_git_path()`Patrick Steinhardt
Remove `git_path()` in favor of the `repo_git_path()` family of functions, which makes the implicit dependency on `the_repository` go away. Note that `git_path()` returned a string allocated via `get_pathname()`, which uses a rotating set of statically allocated buffers. Consequently, callers didn't have to free the returned string. The same isn't true for `repo_common_path()`, so we also have to add logic to free the returned strings. This refactoring also allows us to remove `repo_common_pathv()` as well as `get_pathname()` from the public interface.

2024-08-14config: fix leaking comment character configPatrick Steinhardt
When the comment line character has been specified multiple times in the configuration, then `git_default_core_config()` will cause a memory leak because it unconditionally copies the string into `comment_line_str` without free'ing the previous value. In fact, it can't easily free the value in the first place because it may contain a string constant. Refactor the code such that we track allocated comment character strings via a separate non-constant variable `comment_line_str_to_free`. Adapt sites that set `comment_line_str` to set both and free the old value that was stored in `comment_line_str_to_free`. This memory leak is being hit in t3404.

2024-06-11commit: fix leaking parents when calling `commit_tree_extended()`Patrick Steinhardt
When creating commits via `commit_tree_extended()`, the caller passes in a string list of parents. This call implicitly transfers ownership of that list to the function, which is quite surprising to begin with. But to make matters worse, `commit_tree_extended()` doesn't even bother to free the list of parents in error cases. The result is a memory leak, and one that the caller cannot fix by themselves because they do not know whether parts of the string list have already been released. Refactor the code such that callers can keep ownership of the list of parents, which is getting indicated by parameter being a constant pointer now.

Given that the diff machinery is heavily used in pathspec-limited "git log" machinery, and it is common for a path to come and go while traversing the project history, this is usually a good thing. However, in some cases we would want to know if all the pathspec elements matched. For example, "git add -u <pathspec>" internally uses the machinery used by "git diff-files" to decide contents from what paths to add to the index, and as an end-user facing command, "git add -u" would want to report an unmatched pathspec element. Add a new .ps_matched member next to the .prune_data member in "struct rev_info" so that we can optionally keep track of the use of .prune_data pathspec elements that can be inspected by the caller.

2024-03-28Merge branch 'jc/show-untracked-false'Junio C Hamano
The status.showUntrackedFiles configuration variable had a name that tempts users to set a Boolean value expressed in our usual "false", "off", and "0", but it only took "no". This has been corrected so "true" and its synonyms are taken as "normal", while "false" and its synonyms are taken as "no". * jc/show-untracked-false: status: allow --untracked=false and friends status: unify parsing of --untracked= and status.showUntrackedFiles

2024-03-13status: allow --untracked=false and friendsJunio C Hamano
It is natural to expect that the "--untracked" option and the status.showuntrackedFiles configuration variable to take a Boolean value ("do you want me to show untracked files?"), but the current code takes nothing but "no" as "no, please do not show any". Allow the usual Boolean values to be given, and treat 'true' as "normal", and 'false' as "no". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-03-13status: unify parsing of --untracked= and status.showUntrackedFilesJunio C Hamano
There are two code paths that take a string and parse it to enum untracked_status_type. Introduce a helper function and use it. As these two places handle an error differently, add an additional invalid value to the enum, and have the caller of the helper handle the error condition, instead of dying or emitting error message from the helper.

2024-03-12prefer comment_line_str to comment_line_char for printingJeff King
As part of our transition to multi-byte comment characters, we should use the string variable rather than the historical character variable. All of the sites adjusted here are just swapping out "%c" for "%s" in format strings, or strbuf_addch() for strbuf_addstr(). The type system and printf-attribute give the compiler enough information to make sure our formats and variable changes all match (especially important for cases where the format string is defined far away from its use, like prepare_to_commit() in commit.c).
