Random git files

• gitignore - .gitignore templates I may or may not use
• etc/gitconfig - a /etc/gitconfig for accepting signed pushes

Tracking GitHub pull requests with git

git config --add remote.GITHUB.fetch '+refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/GITHUB/pr/*'

Replace GITHUB with the git remote name. I have picked this up from a dead git.io link.

• TODO: Figure out if this also works for GitLab or what is the GitLab version? Gitea too.

Debugging git

Git obeys some environment variables that may be helpful for troubleshooting

• GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 results to more information what git is doing e.g. during cloning.
  • Verbose Output from git
• GIT_TRACE=1 & GIT_TRACE2=1 give very deep debug information
  • StackOverflow
