You can use git config to query your local and global Git configuration. In this section, we will show a couple of examples.
- To view all the effective configurations for the current Git repository, run the following command:
$ git config --listuser.name=John Doe[email protected]core.repositoryformatversion=0core.filemode=falsecore.bare=falsecore.logallrefupdates=trueremote.origin.url=https://git.eclipse.org/r/jgit/jgitremote.origin.fetch=+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*branch.master.remote=originbranch.master.merge=refs/heads/master
