git: Execute a Git subcommand with a given configuration set.
$ git -c '${config-key}=${value}' ${subcommand}
try on your machine
The command git -c '${config-key}=${value}' ${subcommand}
is used to execute a Git command while setting a specific configuration option temporarily.
Here's a breakdown of the different parts:
git
: The main command used to interact with Git repositories.-c '${config-key}=${value}'
: This argument sets a specific configuration option temporarily. The${config-key}
placeholder needs to be replaced with the actual configuration key you want to set, and${value}
should be replaced with the desired value for that key. The configuration option set with this argument will only be valid during the current execution of thegit
command.${subcommand}
: This is the actual Git subcommand you want to execute. Subcommands are actions or operations you perform on a Git repository, such ascommit
,push
,pull
, etc.
By using the -c
option, you can override or modify the Git configuration temporarily for a single command without permanently changing the repository's configuration. This is useful if you want to test or experiment with different configurations without affecting the overall repository settings.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
