You will have lost any (global) git configuration you have done.

  1. Your username and email address.
  2. Any aliases you set up.
  3. Remote keys/etc. for things like github.
  4. Anything else listed in the git config man page.

Anything configured in a repo-specific (.git/config) file will be fine.
