Thank you, this is very helpful!

Thanks!

How do i add this command to my .gitconfig ?

git config tar.tar.xz.command "xz -c"

@vikashb72, globally or in a particular repo?

Thanks.

Thanks !

Cool!
Thanks

suggestion for an additional alias:
hist = log --pretty=format:"%h %ad | %s%d [%an]" --graph --date=short

Thanks. It helps a lot!

For GITIGNORE you can simply use https://github.com/github/gitignore

Thanks!

Another alternative for .gitignore files: https://www.gitignore.io/

Thanks !

Thanks! Also, if you know, what kind of format is this? I've seen it around (e.g. .aws/config file for aws cli) but I haven't come across the name for it.

Thanks for posting. I'm curious, what's the difference between the following?

[user]
        username = ...

and

[github]
        user = ...

I'm exploring the use of multiple GitHub accounts (without SSH) and these seem like they might be useful/related. My early GitHub and StackOverflow searches were not very helpful.

Does anyone know if you can use variables in a gitconfig include path?

I already add this command, but still I can't clone repo from outside my proxy :
git config --global http.proxy http://hendi santika:myp@ssw0rd@proxy.server.co.id:8080

Any suggest?
Thanks

thanks!

Very useful! Thanks.
You don't have a [credential] section. Do you know how that would be used?

@hendisantika you need change your password encoding special characters:
git config --global http.proxy http://hendi santika:myp%40ssw0rd@proxy.server.co.id:8080

Is there a way to specify two different .gitignore files in the gitconfig file?
Something like this:
[remote "origin"]
.gitignore = .gitignore-origin
[remote "ac"]
.gitignore = .gitignore-ac

@Zooloo2014

[credential "https://github.com"]
        username = scott18

to define username for github.com only

I'm trying to find the full list of options I can use inside the .gitconfig file. Where I can find those?

Thanks, this is great!
