From: Paul Smith Date: Wed, 04 Jul 2018 06:08:46 GMT Subject: RUNTIME_PREFIX references in gitconfig variable paths Message-ID: One thing I wanted to do was provide a default ca-bundle.crt file along with my local build of Git. I need my installation to be relocatable and I'm using RUNTIME_PREFIX with Git 2.18.0 (on GNU/Linux). I can provide a system gitconfig file with a setting for http.sslCAInfo but the problem is I can't create a relocatable path here so I don't know how to set it: $ cat $prefix/etc/gitconfig [http] sslCAInfo = /etc/ca-bundle.crt What do I use for above since I want it to be relocatable? Basically I want this to be in the same directory as the relocatable sysconfdir (I don't actually care much but that seems like a good place). Is there some way to create a reference to a path relative to the installation directory? For example "~" is accepted as the users $HOME path; is there some syntax which refers to the Git installation directory? If not this seems like something that would be very useful. I can use a wrapper script and set GIT_SSL_CAINFO, but that will also override any user's setting of http.sslCAInfo in their local gitconfig which I don't really want.
