Is it a little too much 🤔?

I love it. 😂

Discovered this repo recently so I am just giving my contributions. Mostly going through my aliases. Hope it helps other people as well.

Let us wait for some more upvotes?

aliases at times can get too messy.

I thought the option--global in git config --global user.email was a typo, should it be --get?

--global is a parameter referencing the location of the config file in the disk.

The default action for the command is to do a get, hence why it is omitted. However, the default config file location is global. Hence git config --get user.email also works.

from git config help

Config file location
    --global              use global config file
    --system              use system config file
    --local               use repository config file

In my opinion, --get is more generic than --global, --system, and --local options; since I had few git repositories which setup user.name and user.email locally. Just my two cents.

Could I know why you prefer --global rather than others?

By the way, I set my global user.name and user.email in ~/.config/git/config ~/.config/git/config.local instead of ~/.gitconfig, and I'm just aware of that --global didn't work for me. It seems that --global option only works for ~/.gitconfig and ~/.config/git/config, not ~/.config/git/config ~/.config/git/config.local, maybe it's a bug of git.

Updated:

I found why my setup not work with --global. I did not save user.name and user.email in ~/.config/git/config, actually I saved it in ~/.config/git/config.local which it will be included from ~/.config/git/config by adding a git config --global include.path '~/.config/git/config.local' in ~/.config/git/config.

Updated: I found why my setup not work with --global, hope you won't mind.
