    It will write the values in a file called .gitconfig, unless you specify another name with the ‘--file‘ option

     git config --global --file myFile key value
    

    Note: the environment variable GIT_CONFIG can also be used to specify another name for this file. --file will supersede GIT_CONFIG value.

    Whatever its name, it will write it in:

    • $HOME for Unix
    • %HOMEPATH% for Windows (c:\Users\MyName by default)

    If $HOME or %HOMEPATH% is not properly set, the git config command will fail.

    It is used to store a per-user configuration and serves as fallback values for the repository-local ‘.git/config‘ file.
