[PATCH v5 3/3] config: add '--show-origin' option to print the origin of a config value

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Lars Schneider <larsxschneider@xxxxxxxxx>

If config values are queried using 'git config' (e.g. via --get,
--get-all, --get-regexp, or --list flag) then it is sometimes hard to
find the configuration file where the values were defined.

Teach 'git config' the '--show-origin' option to print the source
configuration file for every printed value.
