Git Configuration Secrets THEY Don't Want You To Know About - With Ken Versaw

Abstract -

In 2021 the Git core developers were asked to reset their config settings to see what working on Git "Out of the Box" was really like. They were then challenged to come up with the top settings that they really wanted to change. What came from that exercise was a list of 9 settings that the core development team mostly unanimously agreed should be the defaults.

Attendees will leave this session with the following take ways:

• How we can configure Git so it is more ergonomic and pleasant to work with
• How our Git settings may change depending on our workflow
• A deeper understanding of the internals of Git
