Where is git config pull.rebase true stored?

Question

I wonder where git config pull.rebase true will store pull.rebase.

I have run this exact line when I am in a specific branch:

git config pull.rebase true

Then, I use git config -l to list all the entries in local config file. However, I cannot see pull.rebase anywhere in it.

Is this variable stored somewhere else or with a different keyword?

Answer 1

I found an answer to my question.

pull rebase is still stored in the local .git/config file. My config file is just too long that it does not show all. I have to enter to see more variables.

One command I found useful is git config --show-origin --get <variable you want to find>. This command shows where git finds your variable.

I used this for pull.rebase and confirmed with myself that it is indeed in .git/config.

Answer 2

git config --show-origin --get-regexp pull
