Dear Sir (Madam)

On the page https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config (Russian version)  we 
can see: git config list, that is might be an mistype as we supposes to 
see: git config --list

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Eugene

No. The current documentation on that page is for Git 2.52.0. Git 2.46.0
introduced subcommands like `list` that deprecates the corresponding
options like `--list`. From the release notes:

      * The operation mode options (like "--get") the "git config" command
        uses have been deprecated and replaced with subcommands (like "git
        config get").

See also the [Deprecated Modes] section.

Both `git config list` and `git config --list` work. But the `--list`
form is deprecated.

Most people might use much older Git versions since that is what their
package manager (that they directly or indirectly use) provides. I see
that Debian Stable now uses a derivation of Git 2.47.0. But I think up
until recently it might have used Git 2.43.0?
