try on your machine
This command is used to display the local configuration settings for a Git repository.
git config
: This is the command-line interface for interacting with Git configuration settings.--list
: This flag is used to display the configuration settings. It lists all the configuration variables and their values.--local
: This flag specifies that we want to display the local configuration settings, which are specific to the current Git repository. Other available options for this flag include--global
(displays global configuration settings specific to the user) and--system
(displays system-wide configuration settings).
So, when you run git config --list --local
, Git will output all the local configuration settings for the current repository, including the user name, email, aliases, user-defined variables, and other settings that have been configured specifically for this repository.
