Try git -C ... config --global --includes user.email This is covered briefly in git-config(1): --[no-]includes Respect include.* directives in config files when looking up values. Defaults to off when a specific file is given (e.g., using --file, --global, etc) and on when searching all config files. This can be confusing, but was necessary to keep compatibility with scripted manipulations of those files when includes were introduced. -Peff
