Viewing Git Configuration
Quick-start
All operations need to be done in the myrepo
directory, so the first thing you should do is run the cd ~/project/myrepo
command to get into the working directory.
cd ~/project/myrepo
To view your current Git configuration, you can use the git config --list
command. This command will display all the configuration settings that are currently set in your Git environment. Git configuration is hierarchical, with settings in your user configuration file taking precedence over settings in your global configuration file, which in turn take precedence over system configuration files.
git config --list
This command will output something like this:
user.name=John Doe
[email protected]
color.ui=auto
You can also view specific configuration values by specifying the key, like this:
git config user.name
This command will output the value of the user.name
configuration variable.
