git config

Manage custom configuration options for Git repositories.

These configurations can be local (for the current repository) or global (for the current user).

• 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 all configuration entries that have been defined either locally or globally:

git config --list

• 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
