NAME

Config::GitLike::Git - load Git configuration files

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

This is a modification of Config::GitLike to look at the same locations that Git writes to. Unlike with Config::GitLike, you do not need to pass a confname to its constructor. This module also enables the Config::GitLike option to maintain git compatibility when reading and writing variables.

"load" in Config::GitLike should be passed path to the top level of a git repository -- this defaults to the current directory. It will append .git as necessary. It supports both bare and non-bare repositories.

METHODS

This module overrides these methods from Config::GitLike:

dir_file

The per-directory configuration file is .git/config

user_file

The per-user configuration file is ~/.gitconfig

global_file

The per-host configuration file is /etc/gitconfig

is_git_dir

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

load_dirs

Loads the relevant .git/config file.
