git-config:tldr:dda73

git-config: List only local configuration entries (stored in `.git/config` in the current repository).
$ git config --list --local
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.
