2. After `config` may follow: `--global`, `user.name`, `user.email`
3. After `--global` may follow: `user.name`, `user.email`
4. After `user.name` may follow optional value: `"[name]"`

--global
user.name
"[name]"
user.email
"[email]"
user.name
"[name]"
user.email
"[email]"
init
[repository_name]
clone
[url]
```
### Simple Example
> More complex example with: `color settings`, `handling optional values` and `line title configuration` [you will find here](examples/custom_input.c)
```cpp
#include
#include "../include/autocomplete.h"
int main() {
// Parsing the configuration file
Tree* rules = tree_create("../example.config");
fprintf(
stderr,
"Attention! Please run the executable file only\n"
" through the command line!\n\n"
"- To switch the prompts press UP or DOWN arrow.\n"
"- To move cursor press LEFT or RIGHT arrow.\n"
"- To edit input press DELETE or BACKSPACE key.\n"
"- To apply current prompt press TAB key.\n\n"
);
// Listening process
while (1) {
// Get user input
char* str = input(rules);
printf("\n%s\n", str);
// Stop listening if user need
if (strcmp(str, "") == 0) {
free(str);
break;
}
// Free user input string
free(str);
}
// Free rules
tree_free(rules);
return 0;
}
```
