Hello, The 'git config list --show-origin' command is very useful for understanding where the settings come from. This command lists the files involved, specifying the full path for each one, except for '.git/config'
This gives the impression that there is a '.git/' directory in the current working directory, even though it isn't located here but higher up in the directory tree. So, may I suggest, that this command display the full path to the .git/config file used by the current git command?
Best regards Christophe
