How to synchronize configuration between git setups?

I'm new to git, and I'm doubting how can I synchronize config files between developers.

Let's say I want all developers to have core.autocrlf set to true, or the same commit template, how can I do it?

Any idea?

Thanks!

There is no such guarantee in a DVCS (as in "Distributed"), since local settings beat global settings.

But in a closed environment (where the population of developers have accessed to a common and shared set of resources), you can:

  • encapsulate the git init process (to use a template, for common settings)
  • Force the GIT_CONFIG environment variable to a shared read-only file (on Linux, accessed through Samba from Windows users), to force all config settings to be read from there.

This is not a foolproof solution, but it can get you started.
