Git is a version control system used by developers to manage the source code of their projects.
It allows users to keep track of the changes made to the code over time and collaborate with other developers.
To make using Git easier, you can set up a global configuration, which will apply to all of your Git repositories.
In this tutorial, we’ll look at how you can display your global Git configuration.
Prerequisites
Before we dive into the steps, make sure you have Git installed on your computer.
You can check if Git is installed by running the following command in your terminal:
git --version
If you don’t have Git installed, you can follow the installation instructions for your operating system from the official Git website.
Displaying Your Global Git Configuration
To display your global Git configuration, run the following command in your terminal:
git config --global --list
This command will display a list of all the global Git configuration options you have set up.
Each line in the list represents a configuration option, with the option name on the left and its value on the right.
If you want to view the value of a specific configuration option, you can use the following command:
git config --global <option-name>
For example, to view the value of the user.name option, you would run the following command:
git config --global user.name
Conclusion
In this tutorial, we looked at how to display your global Git configuration.
By setting up a global configuration, you can make using Git easier and more efficient.
