What are Git Configuration Levels?
Before diving into the specifics of the global Git configuration, it’s important to understand the three levels of Git configuration:
- System Level: This configuration applies to all users on the system and is typically found in the system’s Git installation directory.
- Global Level: This configuration applies to a single user and affects all repositories for that user.
- Local Level: This configuration is specific to a single repository and overrides both global and system configurations for that repository.
Where is The Global Git Config Data Stored?
Git uses configuration files to manage settings on different levels: system, global, and local. Each level of configuration can be used to override settings from the levels above it, providing a flexible and powerful way to manage how Git behaves. This article focuses on where the global Git configuration data is stored and how it influences Git operations.
