Git repo on usb disk. Do I need to move .gitignore to the usb too?

I've moved a git repo (currently in use with remote url) to a usb stick. Do I need to move my global .gitconfig file to the usb stick too? I guess I'm worried that if I work on someone else's computer and then push it'll use their config settings.

The global gitconfig is under $HOME.

You would use "someone else's global gitconfig" only if you are logged in as that someone else's account.

That being said, bringing your own global gitconfig is a good idea: put it in your $HOME once logged in that new computer.
