git-config: List only global configuration entries (stored in `~/.gitconfig`).
$ git config --list --global
try on your machine

The command "git config --list --global" is used to display the current configuration settings for Git globally.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "git config" is the command used to set or display Git configuration settings.
  • "--list" is an option that instructs Git to display all configuration settings.
  • "--global" is an option that specifies that the configuration settings being displayed are for the global Git configuration, which means they apply to all repositories on your system.

By executing this command, you will get a list of all the configuration settings currently set in your global Git configuration. This could include user information, such as the name and email address associated with your Git commits, default branch names, aliases, and other settings.
