└—Show ALL with config level & location (system>global>repo-higher lvl overrides lower)
Level Specific
1. System level (applied to every user on the system and all their repositories)
to view:
git config --list --system (may need sudo)
to set:
git config --system color.ui true
to edit system config file:
git config --edit --system
2. Global level (values specific personally to you, the user).
to view:
git config --list --global
to set:
git config --global user.name xyz
to edit global config file:
git config --edit --global
3. Repository level (specific to that single repository)
to view:
git config --list --local
to set:
git config --local core.ignorecase true (--local optional)
to edit repository config file:
git config --edit --local (--local optional)git global config location
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
