I guess that the 'skeleton' part has yet to be > written... I don't know what exactly you mean: the skeleton copying part, or the default .gitconfig? As for the skeleton copying part, on the machine I am writing this on, there is a /etc/skel/ directory, which is automatically copied to the $HOME of every newly created user. As for the default .gitconfig (which you could put into /etc/skel/): if the default behaviour of git is not to your liking, just make a $HOME/.gitconfig, and once you are satisfied with it, stick a copy into /etc/skel!
