    How many config files for git?

There are 3 places where we can set git config:

/etc/gitconfig

This is globe config. Write and read its settings:
git config --system ...


$HOME/.gitconfig or $HOME/.config/git/config

This config is for current user.
git config --global ...


.git/config

This config is just for current repository. You can run the following command under a repository:
git config ...

For example, we usually set after install git as follows:
git config --global user.name "Henry"
git config --global user.email "henryhu712@gmail.com"
