Description
overview
Gitpod by default generates a ~/.gitconfig
file which is in conflict with the Gitpod feature of "bring your own dotfiles"
problem
-
file exists during bootstrap so
stow
(https://venthur.de/2021-12-19-managing-dotfiles-with-stow.html) fails by default. -
no documentation for gp credential-helper that explains the why/what/that it is configured.
[credential]
helper = /usr/bin/gp credential-helper
- are these defaults needed?
[push]
default = simple
[alias]
lg = log --color --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit
[credential]
helper = /usr/bin/gp credential-helper
[user]
name = Geoffrey Huntley
email = [email protected]
- can we not run
git config credential.helper = /usr/bin/gp credential-helper
instead of shipping a.gitconfig
thus removing default failure modes for standard tools like stow?
