GIT Config

• git-edit,
• notepad

Command git config --list --show-origin shows all settings from all levels and the origin of the setting. If we do not need the origin, we can skip the last parameter and only use git config --list.

Command git config --global --edit opens config in the editor.

On Windows, it is useful to set Notepad++ as the text editor with the following parameters: [core] editor = \"C:\\\\Program Files\\\\Notepad++\\\\notepad++.exe\" -multiInst -notabbar -nosession -noPlugin This way, the editor will open a new instance of Notepad++. Of course, a prerequisite for the above command to work is to have Notepad++ installed.
