I'm writing a script to run git on a system with a given version of git installed, but I need it to be hermetic, so that the script behaves exactly the same way regardless of any gitconfig files.

How can I tell git to avoid processing all config files?

CodePudding user response：

You can use options to tell git not to process any configuration files. For example, to ignore user and system-level profiles, you can use the following command:--no-config

$ git --no-config <COMMAND>

The command ignores all configuration files and executes only the specified ones.

In addition, you can also use the option to tell Git to only work with system-level configuration files. For example, to ignore user-level profiles, you can use the following command:--system

$ git --system <COMMAND>

The command ignores all user-level profiles, processes only system-level profiles, and executes the specified.

In addition, you can use options to specify specific profiles to work with. For example, to ignore all profiles and process only the one named Profile, you can use the following command:--filemyconfig

$ git --no-config --file=myconfig <COMMAND>

The command ignores all profiles, processes only the named profile, and executes the specified profile.myconfig
