You can't, since that would open a whole range of security issues.
You can put some config defaults inside the repository itself, but it
is up to your users whether they apply them. Perhaps it's best to
write them as a shellscript that adds to the configuration file(s) so
that it is easy to apply it later, e.g.,
#!/bin/sh
git config diff.jpg.textconv exiftool
cat >> .gitattributes <<EOF
*.jpg diff=jpg
EOF
