How to Disable Git Pull. Rebase (Rebasing by Default Upon Pull)
I Tried Setting Git Config --Global Pull. Rebase False and Git Config Pull. Rebase False and When I Run Git Config --Global Pull. Rebase or Git Config Pull...
I tried setting
git config --global pull.rebase false
and
git config pull.rebase false
and when I run
git config --global pull.rebase
or
git config pull.rebase
I see false, but when I run git pull ... it still is doing a rebase. How can I make this go away again?

The best way
Don't use git pull. Just run git fetch and then when it's done, run git merge.
(This is also the best way to do rebase pulls: don't use git pull. "This ... is wrong tool. Never use this.")
The other way
Use git pull --rebase=false. The command line flag overrides the configuration setting.
In addition to pull.rebase, this behavior can also be enabled using branch.<name>.rebase or branch.autoSetupRebase. To disable rebasing by default on git pull, you need to unset those on all levels of Git configuration (repo, user, system).
