gitconfig
=========
# what is the .gitconfig file
~/.gitconfig
User-specific configuration file. Also called "global" configuration file.
# How to locate the git config file in Mac [duplicate]
The global Git configuration file is stored at: $HOME/.gitconfig on all platforms.
# why we need it?
For writing options: write to global ~/.gitconfig file rather than the repository .git/config, write to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config file if this file exists and the ~/.gitconfig file doesn’t.
For reading options: read only from global ~/.gitconfig and from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config rather than from all available files.
