git config

Manage custom configuration options for Git repositories. These configurations can be local (for the current repository) or global (for the current user). More information: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config.

  • List only local configuration entries (stored in .git/config in the current repository):

git config --list --local

  • List only global configuration entries (stored in ~/.gitconfig by default or in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config if such a file exists):

git config --list --global

  • List only system configuration entries (stored in /etc/gitconfig), and show their file location:

git config --list --system --show-origin

  • Get the value of a given configuration entry:

git config alias.unstage

  • Set the global value of a given configuration entry:

git config --global alias.unstage "reset HEAD --"

  • Revert a global configuration entry to its default value:

git config --global --unset alias.unstage

  • Edit the Git configuration for the current repository in the default editor:

git config --edit

  • Edit the global Git configuration in the default editor:

git config --global --edit
