Overview
git config is used to manipulate entries in Git's configuration files. There are three levels of configuration files, listed below from the highest precedence to the lowest:
1. file (.git/config). This file contains repository-specific configuration and has the highest precedence. Repository-specific configuration is manipulated when git config is gets the "--file" option. This is the default.
2. global (~/.gitconfig). This file contains user-specific configuration and it is manipulated when git config gets the "--global" option.
3. system (/etc/gitconfig). This file contains system-wide configuration and can be manipulated with the "--system" option, if the user has proper permissions.
The configuration files are not replicated during git clone.
