我还在我的Windows机器上寻找全局的.gitconfig，并用git找到了这个巧妙的技巧。

执行a: gitconfig——global -e，然后，如果你幸运的话，你会得到一个文本编辑器加载你的全局.gitconfig文件。只需从那里查找文件夹(或尝试另存为…)，等voilà!: -)

正如@MatrixFrog在他们的评论中指出的，如果目标是编辑配置，你可能想要运行:

git config --global --edit

这个命令将在选择的编辑器中打开配置文件(在本例中是——global文件)，并等待文件关闭(就像git rebase -i期间一样)。

我在Windows 8.1上使用SmartGit和msysgit，并注意到gitconfig文件可以有三个不同的位置:

%USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\etc\gitconfig
C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartGitHg\git\etc\gitconfig

但是使用的是来自%USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig的。

我认为这句话很重要:

Git for Windows supports four levels of configuration. At the lowest level is the machine specific configuration settings known as "portable" and lives a "%ProgramData%\Git\config". One priority level us the installation specific configuration settings known as "system", which live at "\mingw64\etc\gitconfig". Both of these configuration file, generally require elevated privileges to modify. Starting with the use specific values known as "global" configuration, which can be found at "%UserProfile%.gitconfig", we find the "user editable" configuration files. The highest priority configuration settings are in the "local" configuration, which can usually be found at ".git\config". It see the recommendation in the blog linked is to modify the "system" or "installation" specific configuration settings, which is fine but users should expect that other installations of Git would not absorb said settings. If you want machine wide settings, use the "portable" configuration file, otherwise choose the "global" or "local" configuration files. Hopefully, people find this information useful.

msysgit的路径如下:

Windows XP -C:\Documents and Settings\<user_name>\.gitconfig

Windows Vista+ C:\用户\<用户名>\.gitconfig
