DESCRIPTION
-----------
List all variables set in config file.
--bool::
- git-config will ensure that the output is "true" or "false"
+ 'git-config' will ensure that the output is "true" or "false"
--int::
- git-config will ensure that the output is a simple
+ 'git-config' will ensure that the output is a simple
decimal number. An optional value suffix of 'k', 'm', or 'g'
in the config file will cause the value to be multiplied
by 1024, 1048576, or 1073741824 prior to output.
+--bool-or-int::
+ 'git-config' will ensure that the output matches the format of
+ either --bool or --int, as described above.
+
-z::
--null::
For all options that output values and/or keys, always
output. The optional `default` parameter is used instead, if
there is no color configured for `name`.
+-e::
+--edit::
+ Opens an editor to modify the specified config file; either
+ '--system', '--global', or repository (default).

FILES
-----
If not set explicitly with '--file', there are three files where
-git-config will search for configuration options:
+'git-config' will search for configuration options:
$GIT_DIR/config::

If no further options are given, all reading options will read all of these
files that are available. If the global or the system-wide configuration
file are not available they will be ignored. If the repository configuration

+file is not available or readable, 'git-config' will exit with a non-zero
error code. However, in neither case will an error message be issued.
All writing options will per default write to the repository specific
configuration file. Note that this also affects options like '--replace-all'
-and '--unset'. *git-config will only ever change one file at a time*.
+and '--unset'. *'git-config' will only ever change one file at a time*.
You can override these rules either by command line options or by environment
variables. The '--global' and the '--system' options will limit the file used
to the global or system-wide file respectively. The GIT_CONFIG environment
variable has a similar effect, but you can specify any filename you want.
-The GIT_CONFIG_LOCAL environment variable on the other hand only changes
-the name used instead of the repository configuration file. The global and
-the system-wide configuration files will still be read. (For writing options
-this will obviously result in the same behavior as using GIT_CONFIG.)

ENVIRONMENT
-----------
Using the "--global" option forces this to ~/.gitconfig. Using the
"--system" option forces this to $(prefix)/etc/gitconfig.
-GIT_CONFIG_LOCAL::
- Take the configuration from the given file instead if .git/config.
- Still read the global and the system-wide configuration files, though.
