Git Config
Learn about Git Config in Git
The git config
command is a convenience function that is used to set Git configuration values on a global or local project level. These configuration levels correspond to .gitconfig text files. Executing git config
will modify a configuration text file.
The most basic use case for git config
is to invoke it with a configuration name, which will display the set value at that name. Configuration names are dot delimited strings composed of a 'section' and a 'key' based on their hierarchy. For example: user.email
Setting Up Git
