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):

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
