I am getting a message when I push stuff to Github (or any remote) because there is a git config value that I need to set. I just did a search to try to understand the effect of each option for this value, so I could pick the one that best fits how I want git to act. I am approximately 90% sure I understand what each one does, however all of the explanations of them have some element of confusion or lack of clarity. This is the problem of using git.

Could your "problem of using git" be a result of "doing a search" instead of reading the documentation that Git provides? `git help config` gives documentation on all of its config values.
