To track down the file holding each config option set on your own system:
git config --list --show-origin
Generally, there are three configs:
* git config puts stuff in <repo root>/.git/config by default
* git config --global puts stuff in <user home>/.gitconfig
* On Linux/macOS, this means ~/.gitconfig
* On Windows, this means %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%.gitconfig
(not %USERPROFILE%.gitconfig; these are not always the same)
* git config --system puts stuff in a global config file shared by all users
* On Linux, it's /etc/gitconfig
* On macOS, it's /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/etc/gitconfig
* On Windows, it's <wherever you installed Git>/etc/gitconfigCopyright © 2021 Codeinu
