There is a separate discussion of conditional configuration based on environment variable settings, e.g. [includeIf "env:TERM:vt100"] path = ~/.git-config-bits/vt100 where the named file might have [prompt] prefix = "\033[H\033[J" so it is certainly doable. It is a different story if doing so is sensible, of course.
