I would find it useful if\nthere were a way to specify this and other config paths relative to\nthe location of the git config file (.gitconfig or\n~/.config/git/config or another specified config location).\n\nMy use case is distributing dotfiles to a group of users who do not\nall keep their git config in the same location. I would like them to\nbe able to put the config and the commit template in the same place,\nwherever that is, and the template be used without needing to change\nthe config contents.\n"}]}
