Hello everyone,

I’m an Outreachy intern working on reducing Git’s use of global environment state. In Week 2, I focused on deglobalising parts of the attributes configuration by making repository-dependent lookups explicit instead of relying on implicit globals.

I wrote a short report with more details here: https://cloobtech.hashnode.dev/week-2-debugging-with-gdb-thoughtful-fixes-and-learning-to-choose-the-right-battles

Thanks, Bello Olamide
