How to locate the git config file in Mac
You don't need to find the file.
Only write this instruction on terminal:
git config --global --edit
I use this function which is saved in .bash_profile and it works a treat for me.
function show_hidden () {
{ defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles $1; killall -HUP Finder; }
}
How to use:
show_hidden true|false
The global Git configuration file is stored at $HOME/.gitconfig
on all platforms.
However, you can simply open a terminal and execute git config
, which will write the appropriate changes to this file. You shouldn't need to manually tweak .gitconfig
, unless you particularly want to.
