Configure Git

There are three levels of configuration:

• System (–system)
• User (–global)
• Project (–local)

$ git config ...

Each level has a file to hold the configuration values.

On Unix

• /etc/gitconfig
• $HOME/.gitconfig (/home/foobar/.gitconfig)
• .git/config

On Windows

• “c:\Program Files (x86)\Git\etc\gitconfig”
• %HOMEPATH%.gitconfig %USERPROFILE%.gitconfig (C:\Users\Foobar.gitconfig)
• .git/config

To access them use

--system
--global
--local
