Manual Settings
===============

There are settings for niche features, which cannot be set using the GUI.

They can manually be added to the settings file ``%APPDATA%\GitExtensions\GitExtensions\GitExtensions.settings``.

Syntax
------

::

<item>
<key>
<string>SETTING_KEY</string>
</key>
<value>
<string>SETTING_VALUE</string>
</value>
</item>
