There are 3 levels of git config; project, global and system.

• project: Project configs are only available for the current project and stored in .git/config in the project's directory.

  $ git config user.name "John Doe"

• global: Global configs are available for all projects for the current user and stored in ~/.gitconfig.

  $ git config --global user.name "John Doe"

• system: System configs are available for all the users/projects and stored in /etc/gitconfig.

  $ git config --system user.name "John Doe"

• GLOBAL CONFIG

• Set $HOME/.gitconfig by using the following:

  git config --global user.name "your name"
  git config --global user.email you@domain.com
  

  this creates a .gitconfig file in the $HOME

• Set project level git config:

  git config user.name "your name"
  git config user.email you@domain.com

  if shell environment variable GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL and/or GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL is present then the git local config would not be used
