GIT Configuration

Another one of those tasks that I always do when starting at a new client is configuring Git just the way I like it.

Globally set standard settings

git config --global user.name "Firstname Lastname"
git config --global user.email "email@domain.com"
git config --global core.fileMode false
git config --global core.autocrlf input
git config --global color.ui auto
git config --global color.status auto
git config --global color.diff auto
git config --global color.branch auto
git config --global color.interactive auto
git config --global pull.rebase true
git config --global fetch.prune true
git config --global push.default current
git config --global rerere.enabled 1

# Windows Only:
git config --global core.whitespace trailing-space,space-before-tab,cr-at-eol

Confirm settings

git config --global --list

Globally set standard aliases

git config --global alias.st status
git config --global alias.ci commit
git config --global alias.co checkout
git config --global alias.br branch
git config --global alias.unstage 'reset HEAD'
git config --global alias.lg "log --color --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)&amp;amp;lt;%an&amp;amp;gt;%Creset' --abbrev-commit"

Confirm aliases

git config --get-regexp alias
