There are over 20 config variables for managing the git-proj sub-commands. Their "scope" is defined by the file they are in. Definitions "closer" to the project directory have higher precedence. Think of this as a sieve, with variables looked for in the following order, where the last definition wins.
Scope Access Location
1. System --file /etc/gitconfig
gitproj, global --file /usr/share/doc/config/gitconfig
2. Global, user --global ~/.gitconfig
gitproj, local --file PROJ/.gitproj
3. Local, proj --local PROJ/.git/config
4. Worktree --file PROJ/.git/config.worktreeIf the "Access" is defined for "set" or "get", then that is the only location "git config" will use.
git-proj doesn't do anything with "/etc/config" or ".git/config.worktree".
/etc/gitconfgCurrently gitproj does not do anything with this file. Variables that should be set for all users on a system can be put in this file. Since gitproj defines all of the gitproj variables in a user's ~/.gitconfig, the /etc/gitconfig changes will not have any impact on the gitproj variables.
/usr/share/doc/git-proj/config/gitconfiggitproj default variable values for all users and projects are defined in this file. The values are only copied at selected times and unless specified, they will only add missing vars, not change user or project vars.
This file is mainly used when creating an initial project with "git proj init" or "git proj clone". It is also used by "git proj config".
The /usr/share/doc/git-proj/config/gitconfig file is not used directly by "git config". It is only used to setup the ~/.gitconfig file.
When a new version of gitproj is installed, new vars and new default values may be added. Package manager options can be used to replace or keep the existing config file (see man dpkg --force-confdef, --force-confnew, or --force-confold).

~/.gitignoreIf the ~/.gitconfig is not defined, it will be copied from /usr/share/doc/config/gitconfig. Also if ~/.gitignore is not defined, it will be copied from /usr/share/doc/config/gitignore.
"git proj init" and "git proj clone" will update ~/.gitconfig from /usr/share/doc/config/gitconfig, for any gitproj section vars that are not defined in ~/.gitconfig. Existing values will not be changed.
PROJ/.gitproj
PROJ/.gitignoreThe PROJ/.gitproj file is not used directly by "git config". It is only used to setup the initial PROJ/.git/config file.
"git proj init" will create PROJ/.gitproj from the gitproj sections in ~/.gitconfig (also filling in "missing" vars from /usr/share/doc/config/gitconfig). PROJ/.gitproj should be versioned, for use by git proj clone
"git proj clone" will add all vars from PROJ/.gitproj to PROJ/.git/config after the files are created. If PROJ/.gitproj is missing, it will create it with the "init" process.
git-proj commands that change gitproj section vars in PROJ/.git/config will also change the vars in PROD/.gitproj, so that later clones can update PROJ/.git/config.
PROJ/.git/config"git proj init" and "git proj clone" will copy all of the vars in PROJ/.gitproj to PROJ/.git/config.
/usr/share/doc/git-proj/hooks/pre-commit
~/.pre-commit (optimal)
PROJ/.pre-commit (optimal)
PROJ/.git/hooks/pre-commitThe pre-commit hook file is created with a precedence similar to the config vars.
"git proj init" and "git proj clone" will create the PROJ/.git/hooks/pre-commit file. If PROJ/.pre-commit exists, that file will be used. If ~/.pre-commit exits, that file will be used. And finally the /usr/share/doc/git-proj/hooks/pre-commit file will be used.
The first time "git proj init" is used to create a project, all the pre-commit files (~/.pre-commit, PROJ/.pre-commit, PROJ/.git/hooks/pre-commit) will be cloned from /usr/share/doc/git-proj/hooks/pre-commit This allows the user to add their own pre-commit functions.
These are globals and vars that effect how the script runs. Just about all of the env. vars. that begin with "gp" can be set and exported before the script is run. That way you can set your own defaults, by putting them in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile files.
Global variable precedence (the last one to set the gp variable, wins). (Internally, this is not implemented in this order, but this is the logical result.)
* internal hardcoded default
* variable in ~/.gitconfig
* variable in PROJ/.git/config
* env. var.
* command line option gp[Var]; - a global env. var. name (NA means there is none)
-[A]; - a CLI option (-NA means there is none)
git.config.[var]; - git config var name (NA means there is none)
(default) - its default value, if not defined anywhereThis is used to run the scripts in batch mode.
This it used by the "git proj init" command.
If gpAuto is true, then gpYesNo can be used to define default answers.
Once the gitproj package is installed and configured, this will be changed to "installed"
If set to 0, log messages will only be sent to stderr.
If set to 1, log messages will be sent to stderr and syslog.
Default: false
Log messages sent to syslog will be sent to the "facility" specified by by gpFacility.
"user" log messages will be sent to /var/log/user.log, or /var/log/syslog, or /var/log/messages.log
Default: user
Allowed facility names:
local0 through local7 - local system facilities
user - misc scripts, generic user-level messages
auth - security/authorization messages
authpriv - security/authorization messages (private)
cron - clock daemon (cron and at)
daemon - system daemons without separate facility value
ftp - ftp daemon
kern - kernel messages (these can't be generated from user processes)
lpr - line printer subsystem
mail - mail subsystem
news - USENET news subsystem
syslog - messages generated internally by syslogd(8)
uucp - UUCP subsystemThese are some suggested uses for the localN facilities:
local0 - system or application configuration
local1 - application processes
local2 - web site errors
local3 - web site access
local4 - backend processes
local5 - publishing
local6 - available
local7 - availableThe location of the executing command will set this.
If not found, then set to: $gpBin/../doc If still not found: error.
See the "common-options" section in git-proj for details.
There is no config variable for gpDebug.
If true, git-flow will be setup for the project.
When a project has been successfully setup by git proj init or git proj clone, this will be set to "defined" in PROJ/.gitproj and PROJ/.git/config. If should always be "TBD" in ~/.gitconfig
When a project has been successfully setup by git proj init or git proj clone, this will be set to "$HOSTNAME" in PROJ/.git/config only.
When a project has been successfully setup by git proj init or git proj clone, this will be set to the project's name in PROJ/.gitproj and PROJ/.git/config. Usually this is the top directory name. If should always be "TBD" in ~/.gitconfig
When git proj remote runs OK this is changed to "defined", in PROJ/.gitproj and PROJ/.git/config. If should always be "TBD" in ~/.gitconfig
This is set by git proj remote and git proj clone to the remote raw location. It is set in PROJ/.git/config. If should always be "TBD" in ~/.gitconfig and PROJ/.gitproj.
This is the minimum space that should be available on the external drive. The git proj remote command will not continue if there is not enough space. The available space should be at least twice the size of the space used by ProjName.raw.
See the "common-options" section in git-proj for details.
This is set by git proj init in the PROJ/.gitproj and PROJ/.git/config files. The value will be the currently installed version of gitproj. The version is defined in the file: /usr/share/doc/git-proj/VERSION
git proj clone will compare ver in PROJ/.gitproj to /usr/share/doc/git-proj/VERSION. If the major or minor numbers of the checked out project are greater than the installed version there could be problems. If the installed version is greater, this should not be a problem, because gitproj tried to be backward compatible. And it might try to upgrade the project.
A warning message will be output if there are differences.
If false, there will be output from pre-commit only if problems are identified.
Use this to turn all pre-commit check off.
If true, only these characters can be used in file and directory names: [-_.a-zA-z0-9]
If true, files in the top raw/ dir will not be allowed in the git repository. The files should have been ignored with the rule in .gitignore, but maybe someone "forced" the add.
Setting this to "false" defeats the whole purpose for gitproj.
If true, don't allow trailing spaces in text files.
See rm-trailing-sp to fix.
If true, don't allow tabs for files with the extensions found in: gitproj.hook.tabs-ext-list
To fix, use "rm-trailing-sp -f FILE"
List the file extensions for files that will be checked for tabs.
If true, look for large binary files. Ones greater than gitproj.hook.binary-file-size will not be allowed into the git repo.
Valid suffixes: k, m, g
If no suffix, then bytes are assumed.
