Hello,
As you know, git stores its configuration in ~/.gitconfig file and in
other hidden files at the root of the user's directory.
We would like to have a configuration directory instead of all these
configuration files by following the XDG specification because:
- not a lot of hidden files at the root, so better view
- one directory per software in ~/.config
We would like to give to users the possibility to store configuration
in ~/.config/git/config file.
git would store its configuration in ~/.config/git/config file if:
- this file exists,
- and ~/.gitconfig file doesn't.
Otherwise git would store its configuration in ~/.gitconfig as usual.
If you don't create ~/.config/git/config, there is no change.
What do you think about it ?
I will send you a patch today.
Thanks,
Lucien KONG,
