Configuration

Configuration Model

Local configuration

The local configuration file is placed in the .git folder under the name config. The local configuration file is used to manage only the parameters of the current repository.

$ git config --local --edit
[core]
        repositoryformatversion = 0
        filemode = false
        bare = false
        logallrefupdates = true
        symlinks = false
        ignorecase = true
[remote "origin"]
        url = C:/Workspace/Tutorials/tutorial-git/Playground/project.git
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
        remote = origin
        merge = refs/heads/master

Global configuration

The location of the global configuration file vary depending on the operating system used. The name of the file is .gitconfig. Under Windows the file is placed in C:\users\<username>. The global configuration is used to configure git for all repositories of the current user.

$ git config --global --edit
[filter "lfs"]
	clean = git-lfs clean -- %f
	smudge = git-lfs smudge -- %f
	process = git-lfs filter-process
	required = true
[user]
	name = Branimir Georgiev
	email = braboj@gmail.com
[core]
	longpaths = true
	autocrlf = true
	excludesfile = C:\\Users\\braboj\\Documents\\gitignore_global.txt
[credential]
	helper = manager
[gui]
	recentrepo = C:/Workspace/Tutorials/Dart
[credential "https://gitlab.com"]
	provider = generic
[init]
	defaultBranch = main
[alias]
	hist = log --pretty=format:'%h %ad | %s%d [%an]' --graph --date=short
	type = cat-file -t
	dump = cat-file -p

System configuration

The system configuration file also depends on the operating system used. Its name is gitconfig and under Windows it is to be found in the installation folder of git. The system configuration is used to configure git for all users and all repositories.

$ git config --system --edit
 
[diff "astextplain"]
	textconv = astextplain
[filter "lfs"]
	clean = git-lfs clean -- %f
	smudge = git-lfs smudge -- %f
	process = git-lfs filter-process
	required = true
[http]
	sslBackend = openssl
	sslCAInfo = C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
[core]
	autocrlf = true
	fscache = true
	symlinks = false
	editor = \"C:\\\\Program Files (x86)\\\\Notepad++\\\\notepad++.exe\" -multiInst -notabbar -nosession -noPlugin
[pull]
	rebase = false
[credential]
	helper = manager-core
[credential "https://dev.azure.com"]
	useHttpPath = true
[init]
	defaultBranch = master

  1. Configure the username and email for the current user
  2. Configure the editor for all users
