If a user is interacting with their config files primarily by the 'git config' command, using the location flags (--global, --system, etc) then they may be more interested to see the scope of the config file they are editing, rather than the filepath. Signed-off-by: Emily Shaffer <emilyshaffer@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Note: This commit has been cherry-picked out of the "configuration-based hook management" topic, at lore.kernel.org/git/20191210023335.49987-1-emilyshaffer@xxxxxxxxxx It turned out that I wanted to use it for git-bugreport as well - to explain the origin of the configs we are printing in the bugreport, without directly exposing the user's home directory path. This seems to have similar work to https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/478 which I believe hasn't been mailed yet; but that change is targeted towards the builtin config command, rather than the config library. Since I wanted to use the library, I'm sending on my own now. Maybe this commit will be useful to that change's author. - Emily config.c | 17 +++++++++++++++++ config.h | 1 + 2 files changed, 18 insertions(+) diff --git a/config.c b/config.c index e7052b3977..a20110e016 100644 --- a/config.c +++ b/config.c @@ -3312,6 +3312,23 @@ enum config_scope current_config_scope(void) return current_parsing_scope; } +const char *config_scope_to_string(enum config_scope scope) +{ + switch (scope) { + case CONFIG_SCOPE_SYSTEM: + return _("system"); + case CONFIG_SCOPE_GLOBAL: + return _("global"); + case CONFIG_SCOPE_REPO: + return _("repo"); + case CONFIG_SCOPE_CMDLINE: + return _("cmdline"); + case CONFIG_SCOPE_UNKNOWN: + default: + return _("unknown"); + } +} + int lookup_config(const char **mapping, int nr_mapping, const char *var) { int i; diff --git a/config.h b/config.h index 91fd4c5e96..c8bf296dcc 100644 --- a/config.h +++ b/config.h @@ -303,6 +303,7 @@ enum config_scope { }; enum config_scope current_config_scope(void); +const char *config_scope_to_string(enum config_scope); const char *current_config_origin_type(void); const char *current_config_name(void); -- 2.24.0.525.g8f36a354ae-goog
