Gitlab practical tutorial uses git config for related configuration operations

This article introduces the content related to git configuration based on an actual problem encountered.

Command: git config

Use git config for related configuration operations

Configuration Files

As a whole, git configuration files are divided into three levels, combined with priority related information as follows

Simply put, the closer you are to the repository, the higher the priority level is, so project level > user level > system level. When the same settings appear at the same time, the one with higher priority will override the upper configuration.

Configuration Check

Use git config with different parameters to check the settings of the three different levels above.

Because the same settings may be overwritten, using git config -l will list the final settings that git thinks are correct.

Problem phenomenon

Many clients encounter problems when automatically generating .gitignore, such as the following git and OS versions that encounter an error message for the ng new action:

reason

The reason seems to be that there is a problem with the expansion of ~. Expanding ~ to a global name in the setting file temporarily solves this problem. However, combined with the above, it can be seen that this is actually a way of reducing the system-level settings to the user-level processing.
