How can I discover the current default behavior for ‘git pull’?


I’ve started receiving this warning at Visual Studio Code startup:

So I downloaded Git for Windows v2.27.0. Upon running the installer, I encountered this prompt:

I’d like to choose the same default behavior that Visual Studio did when it first installed Git for me, so as to keep everything working smoothly. I’m enough of a novice at Git that I wouldn’t want things to go awry.

I haven’t proceeded yet; I don’t want to risk mucking it up.

This Q&A discusses the concept but doesn’t quite get there on finding out what the default is. The official documentation comes up short here as well.

Is there a way to determine the current default?

If there isn’t, is it possible to change the default after the fact, in case I choose the wrong option?
