When using git config --global to set things up, to which file will it write?
当使用git配置——全局设置时，它会写入哪个文件?
Example:
例子:
git config --global core.editor "blah"
I can't find it at these places:
我在这些地方找不到:
C:\Program Files\Git\etc\gitconfig
C:\myapp\.git\config
I have not set an ENV?
我没有设置ENV?

As Steven Vascellaro points out in the comments,
正如Steven Vascellaro在评论中指出的，
it will work with non-standard install locations. (i.e. Git Portable)
它将与非标准安装位置一起工作。(例如Git便携式)
(like the latest PortableGit-2.14.2-64-bit.7z.exe, which can be uncompressed anywhere you want)
(如最新portablegit 2.14.2 - 64 bit.7z。exe，它可以在任何你想要的地方进行压缩
Original answer (2010)
原来答案(2010)
From the docs:
从文档:
--global
For writing options: write to global
~/.gitconfigfile rather than the repository.git/config.写选项:写到global ~/。gitconfig文件而不是存储库。git/config。
Since you're using Git for Windows, it may not be clear what location this corresponds to. But if you look at etc/profile (in C:\Program Files\Git), you'll see:
由于您正在使用Git用于Windows，所以可能不清楚这对应于什么位置。但如果你看看等/配置文件(在C:\Program Files\ Git),你会看到:
HOME="$HOMEDRIVE$HOMEPATH"
Meaning:
意义:
C:\Users\MyLogin
(on Windows 7)
(在Windows 7)
That means the file is in C:\Users\MyLogin\.gitconfig for Git in Windows 7.
这意味着在C:\Users\MyLogin\.文件在Windows 7中的Git。

I was also looking for the global .gitconfig on my Windows machine and found this neat trick using git.
我还在我的Windows机器上寻找全局的。gitconfig，并发现了使用git的这个简单的技巧。
Do a: git config --global -e and then, if you are lucky, you will get a text editor loaded with your global .gitconfig file. Simply lookup the folder from there (or try a save as...), et voilà! :-)
做一个:git配置——全局-e，如果你幸运的话，你会得到一个文本编辑器，它装载了你的全局.gitconfig文件。简单地从那里查找文件夹(或者尝试一个save as…)，等一下!:-)

The global location is derived, on Windows MsysGit, using the HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH environment variables, unless you have defined a HOME environment variable. The is detailed in the 'profile' script.
在Windows MsysGit上，使用HOMEDRIVE和主页环境变量来获取全局位置，除非您已经定义了一个家庭环境变量。在“概要”脚本中有详细说明。
In my corporate environment the HOMEDRIVE is H:, which is then mapped to a network URL \\share\$. The whole lot is then mapped to be "My Documents", which isn't where others would expect. There may have been some further problems with the drive to URL remapping. I don't even get to adjust the HOMEDRIVE or HOMEPATH variables anyway.
在我的公司环境中，HOMEDRIVE是H:，然后映射到一个网络URL \\share\$。然后，所有的东西都被映射为“我的文档”，而不是别人期望的。对URL重新映射的驱动可能会有一些进一步的问题。我甚至没有调整HOMEDRIVE或主页变量。
In my case I have defined a personal HOME environment variable and pointed it to D:\git\GitHOME and copied all those GIT files (which are without and extension) to the GitHOME directory for safe keeping.
在我的例子中，我定义了一个个人家庭环境变量，并将其指向D:\git\GitHOME，并将所有这些git文件(没有和扩展)复制到GitHOME目录中，以确保安全。

If you are using TortoiseGit on a windows PC you can use:
如果你在windows电脑上使用TortoiseGit，你可以使用:

to open the global .gitignore file.
打开global .gitignore文件。
But if you use your Windows (7) PC in a domain your profile dir is may be a network share (mounted as a drive). In this case TortoiseGit (at least:1.6.5.0) is pointing you to the wrong dir (on c:...). See the closed TortoiseGit issue 922 for more information. Or using %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% to open the dir that contains the .gitignore file.

I am running Windows 7 and using git as setup by following the instructions on GitHub (a year or two back). A rather common use-case I would have thought. None of the answers above helped me, and after much frustration I eventually found my 'real' gitconfig file in the following directory;
我正在运行Windows 7，并按照GitHub上的说明(一两年后)使用git作为设置。这是一个很常见的用例。以上的答案都没有帮助我，在经历了很多挫折之后，我终于在下面的目录中找到了我的“真正的”gitconfig文件;

Uninstall Msysgit and install Cygwin + Git. Then global '.gitconfig' will be here: C:\cygwin(64)\home\[userName]\.gitconfig .
卸载Msysgit并安装Cygwin + Git。那么全球”。gitconfig将会在这里:C:\cygwin(64)\home\[用户名]\。gitconfig。
Now you don't have to worry about an environment variable which may be used by other programs. For example, my environment variable pointed me to a mapped drive in my work windows domain environment. I dont want my global .gitconfig sitting on my "home" mapped drive. I also don't know what might happen to other applications that might rely on that windows environment variable. Operations division might need that environment variable set to the mapped drive for a reason.
现在您不必担心其他程序可能使用的环境变量。例如，我的环境变量将我指向工作windows域环境中的映射驱动器。我不想让我的global .gitconfig坐在我的“home”映射驱动器上。我也不知道其他可能依赖windows环境变量的应用程序会发生什么。操作部门可能需要将环境变量设置为映射驱动器。
Also you don't have to worry about Mysysgit overwriting your 'profile' configuration settings if you specify a specific path to global '.gitconfig', using this method.
另外，如果您指定了一个特定的全局路径，您不必担心Mysysgit覆盖了您的“概要”配置设置。gitconfig’,使用这种方法。
