Issue
When I do a git config -- I see the following (abridged) list:
$ git config --list
...
core.autocrlf=true
...
core.safecrlf=true
core.autocrlf=true
...
Notice core.autocrlf=true is repeated. I then try setting their values to false “globally” with git config --global core.autocrlf false and only the 2nd instance changes:
$ git config --list
...
core.autocrlf=true
...
core.safecrlf=true
core.autocrlf=false
...
I see that using the –show-origin flag clarifies the source of each:
file:"C:\\ProgramData/Git/config" core.autocrlf=true
file:C:/Users/schmoejoe/.gitconfig core.autocrlf=true
And that answer also notes the order of precedence (local > global > system). So my question is: Is there a way to change the values for each of these from the command line (whether with separate commands or all at once)?
Solution
According to the documentation:
If not set explicitly with –file, there are four files where git config will search for configuration options:…
The files are read in the order given above, with last value found taking precedence over values read earlier. When multiple values are taken then all values of a key from all files will be used.
Note that you can get this documentation by typing
git help config
or by googling "git config".
