If the value of the +variable is a relative path, the path is considered to +be relative to the configuration file in which the include directive +was found. See below for examples. + +Conditional includes +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +You can include a config file from another conditionally by setting a +`includeIf..path` variable to the name of the file to be +included. + +The condition starts with a keyword followed by a colon and some data +whose format and meaning depends on the keyword. Supported keywords +are: + +`gitdir`:: + + The data that follows the keyword `gitdir:` is used as a glob + pattern. If the location of the .git directory matches the + pattern, the include condition is met. ++ +The .git location may be auto-discovered, or come from `$GIT_DIR` +environment variable. If the repository is auto discovered via a .git +file (e.g. from submodules, or a linked worktree), the .git location +would be the final location where the .git directory is, not where the +.git file is. ++ +The pattern can contain standard globbing wildcards and two additional +ones, `**/` and `/**`, that can match multiple path components. Please +refer to linkgit:gitignore[5] for details. For convenience: + + * If the pattern starts with `~/`, `~` will be substituted with the + content of the environment variable `HOME`. + + * If the pattern starts with `./`, it is replaced with the directory + containing the current config file. + + * If the pattern does not start with either `~/`, `./` or `/`, `**/` + will be automatically prepended. For example, the pattern `foo/bar` + becomes `**/foo/bar` and would match `/any/path/to/foo/bar`. + + * If the pattern ends with `/`, `**` will be automatically added. For + example, the pattern `foo/` becomes `foo/**`. In other words, it + matches "foo" and everything inside, recursively. + +`gitdir/i`:: + This is the same as `gitdir` except that matching is done + case-insensitively (e.g. on case-insensitive file sytems) + +A few more notes on matching via `gitdir` and `gitdir/i`: + + * Symlinks in `$GIT_DIR` are not resolved before matching. + + * Both the symlink & realpath versions of paths will be matched + outside of `$GIT_DIR`. E.g. if ~/git is a symlink to + /mnt/storage/git, both `gitdir:~/git` and `gitdir:/mnt/storage/git` + will match. ++ +This was not the case in the initial release of this feature in +v2.13.0, which only matched the realpath version. Configuration that +wants to be compatible with the initial release of this feature needs +to either specify only the realpath version, or both versions. + + * Note that "../" is not special and will match literally, which is + unlikely what you want.
