Understanding Git Configuration Levels
Git configurations can be set at three levels:
- System Level: Applies to every user on the system and all their repositories. The configuration file is usually located at /etc/gitconfig.
- Global Level: Specific to the user and applies to all repositories the user works on. The configuration file is located at ~/.gitconfig or ~/.config/git/config.
- Local Level: Specific to a single repository. The configuration file is located at repo/.git/config.
