+advice.*::
+	These variables control various optional help messages designed to
+	aid new users. All 'advice.*' variables default to 'true', and you
+	can tell Git that you do not need help by setting these to 'false':
++
+--
+	fetchShowForcedUpdates::
+		Advice shown when linkgit:git-fetch[1] takes a long time
+		to calculate forced updates after ref updates, or to warn
+		that the check is disabled.
+	pushUpdateRejected::
+		Set this variable to 'false' if you want to disable
+		'pushNonFFCurrent',
+		'pushNonFFMatching', 'pushAlreadyExists',
+		'pushFetchFirst', and 'pushNeedsForce'
+		simultaneously.
+	pushNonFFCurrent::
+		Advice shown when linkgit:git-push[1] fails due to a
+		non-fast-forward update to the current branch.
+	pushNonFFMatching::
+		Advice shown when you ran linkgit:git-push[1] and pushed
+		'matching refs' explicitly (i.e. you used ':', or
+		specified a refspec that isn't your current branch) and
+		it resulted in a non-fast-forward error.
+	pushAlreadyExists::
+		Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] rejects an update that
+		does not qualify for fast-forwarding (e.g., a tag.)
+	pushFetchFirst::
+		Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] rejects an update that
+		tries to overwrite a remote ref that points at an
+		object we do not have.
+	pushNeedsForce::
+		Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] rejects an update that
+		tries to overwrite a remote ref that points at an
+		object that is not a commit-ish, or make the remote
+		ref point at an object that is not a commit-ish.
+	pushUnqualifiedRefname::
+		Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] gives up trying to
+		guess based on the source and destination refs what
+		remote ref namespace the source belongs in, but where
+		we can still suggest that the user push to either
+		refs/heads/* or refs/tags/* based on the type of the
+		source object.
+	statusAheadBehind::
+		Shown when linkgit:git-status[1] computes the ahead/behind
+		counts for a local ref compared to its remote tracking ref,
+		and that calculation takes longer than expected. Will not
+		appear if `status.aheadBehind` is false or the option
+		`--no-ahead-behind` is given.
+	statusHints::
+		Show directions on how to proceed from the current
+		state in the output of linkgit:git-status[1], in
+		the template shown when writing commit messages in
+		linkgit:git-commit[1], and in the help message shown
+		by linkgit:git-switch[1] or
+		linkgit:git-checkout[1] when switching branch.
+	statusUoption::
+		Advise to consider using the `-u` option to linkgit:git-status[1]
+		when the command takes more than 2 seconds to enumerate untracked
+		files.
+	commitBeforeMerge::
+		Advice shown when linkgit:git-merge[1] refuses to
+		merge to avoid overwriting local changes.
+	resetQuiet::
+		Advice to consider using the `--quiet` option to linkgit:git-reset[1]
+		when the command takes more than 2 seconds to enumerate unstaged
+		changes after reset.
+	resolveConflict::
+		Advice shown by various commands when conflicts
+		prevent the operation from being performed.
+	sequencerInUse::
+		Advice shown when a sequencer command is already in progress.
+	implicitIdentity::
+		Advice on how to set your identity configuration when
+		your information is guessed from the system username and
+		domain name.
+	detachedHead::
+		Advice shown when you used
+		linkgit:git-switch[1] or linkgit:git-checkout[1]
+		to move to the detach HEAD state, to instruct how to
+		create a local branch after the fact.
+	checkoutAmbiguousRemoteBranchName::
+		Advice shown when the argument to
+		linkgit:git-checkout[1] and linkgit:git-switch[1]
+		ambiguously resolves to a
+		remote tracking branch on more than one remote in
+		situations where an unambiguous argument would have
+		otherwise caused a remote-tracking branch to be
+		checked out. See the `checkout.defaultRemote`
+		configuration variable for how to set a given remote
+		to used by default in some situations where this
+		advice would be printed.
+	amWorkDir::
+		Advice that shows the location of the patch file when
+		linkgit:git-am[1] fails to apply it.
+	rmHints::
+		In case of failure in the output of linkgit:git-rm[1],
+		show directions on how to proceed from the current state.
+	addEmbeddedRepo::
+		Advice on what to do when you've accidentally added one
+		git repo inside of another.
+	ignoredHook::
+		Advice shown if a hook is ignored because the hook is not
+		set as executable.
+	waitingForEditor::
+		Print a message to the terminal whenever Git is waiting for
+		editor input from the user.
+	nestedTag::
+		Advice shown if a user attempts to recursively tag a tag object.
+	submoduleAlternateErrorStrategyDie::
+		Advice shown when a submodule.alternateErrorStrategy option
+		configured to "die" causes a fatal error.
+	addIgnoredFile::
+		Advice shown if a user attempts to add an ignored file to
+		the index.
+	addEmptyPathspec::
+		Advice shown if a user runs the add command without providing
+		the pathspec parameter.
