Config...e::Git(3pm)

✨ Config::GitLike::Git ✨

okay bestie, listen up — this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's all about Config::GitLike::Git, the module that loads your Git config files. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Config::GitLike::Git — load Git configuration files 💖

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

use Config::GitLike::Git;
my $config = Config::GitLike::Git->new;
$config->load("/path/to/repo");

three lines. that's the whole entire vibe. ✨

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So here's the tea 🍓: this is a modification of Config::GitLike that goes looking in the same exact places Git itself writes to. Iconic behaviour honestly.

Unlike regular Config::GitLike, you do not need to hand it a confname when you call the constructor. It just knows. main character energy fr. 👑

It also flips on the Config::GitLike option that keeps git compatibility when it's reading and writing variables. 🦋

Now, the "load" method from Config::GitLike should be passed path to the top level of a git repository — and if you don't pass anything, it defaults to the current directory. It'll append ".git" as necessary, no cap. And it supports both bare and non-bare repositories. slay. 💜

🔥 METHODS 🔥

This module overrides these methods from Config::GitLike:

🎀 dir_file

The per-directory config file is .git/config. If you give it an optional directory argument, it'll hand you back a fully-qualified path to that config file — the exact one git would edit with git config --local -C path. ✨

🎀 user_file

The per-user config file is ~/.gitconfig 💖

🎀 global_file

The per-host config file is /etc/gitconfig 🌈

🎀 is_git_dir

Returns true if a file contains the necessary files (as git would reckon it) for that path to be a git repository. 🫶

🎀 is_git_dir... no wait, it's load_dirs

lol jk bestie, we already did is_git_dir.

🎀 load_dirs

Loads the relevant .git/config file. that's it, that's the whole job. 💅
