How to synchronize configuration between git setups?

configuration, git

Solution

There is no such guarantee in a DVCS (as in "Distributed"), since local settings beat global settings.

But in a closed environment (where the population of developers have accessed to a common and shared set of resources), you can:

- encapsulate the `git init` process (to use a template, for common settings)

- Force the `GIT_CONFIG` environment variable to a shared read-only file (on Linux, accessed through Samba from Windows users), to force all config settings to be read from there.

This is not a full-proofed solution, but it can get you started.

Problem

I'm new to git, and I'm doubting how can I synchronize config files between developers. Let's say I want all developers to have core.autocrlf set to true, or the same commit template, how can I do it? Any idea? Thanks!
