cygwin - How to configure default configuration for new Git repository? -

in following see git set ignorecase true default despite .gitconfig configuration.

$ mkdir foo && cd foo && git init initialized empty git repository in /cygdrive/c/users/nowox/home/git/foo/.git/ $ cat .git/config | grep ignore         ignorecase = true 

how can tell git set ignorecase false default new repositories?

i have put config file in $git_template_dir (/usr/share/git-core/templates):

[core]         ignorecase = false          repositoryformatversion = 0         filemode = true         bare = false         logallrefupdates = true 

but still doesn't work. seems config file erased git...

full example

~/test $ git init initialized empty git repository in /cygdrive/c/test/.git/ ~/test $ cat .git/config [core]         ignorecase = true         repositoryformatversion = 0         filemode = true         bare = false         logallrefupdates = true  ~/test $ cat /usr/share/git-core/templates/config [core]         ignorecase = false         repositoryformatversion = 0         filemode = true         bare = false         logallrefupdates = true 

it looks doesn't work. both config files different:

~/test $ diff  /usr/share/git-core/templates/config .git/config 2,5c2,5 <         ignorecase = false <         repositoryformatversion = 0 <         filemode = true <         bare = false --- >       ignorecase = true >       repositoryformatversion = 0 >       filemode = true >       bare = false 

it same if declare git_template_dir variable:

~/test $ rm -rf .git ~/test $ git_template_dir=/usr/share/git-core/templates git init . initialized empty git repository in /cygdrive/test/.git/ ~/test $ cat .git/config [core]         ignorecase = true         repositoryformatversion = 0         filemode = true         bare = false         logallrefupdates = true 

see template directory of git-init.

by default, when initialize new git repo, contents under /usr/share/git-core/templates copied new repo's .git. can make template config here, includes

[core]     ignorecase = false 

for git-bash-for-windows, it's /mingw64/share/git-core/templates/ or /mingw32/share/git-core/templates/.

besides manual says, have folloing options specify templates.

1. the argument given --template option;
2. the contents of $git_template_dir environment variable;
3. the init.templatedir configuration variable.
