Allow opening the .gitconfig files in the user's favorite text editor
Revised description:
Provide some convenience shortcuts (in the global preferences dialog, and the repository's "hamburger" menu) to open the relevant .gitconfig
/ .git/config
file in the user's favorite editor for advanced configurations.
Original description:
Can be interesting to access git config files from gitg. Normally those are
.git/config
on git repo directory,$HOME/.gitconfig
for user globally and/etc/gitconfig
for system.This related art can be orientative:
Some sections would have a different edit interface, like custom links #152 (closed) where you should provide:
- regex: Text to match
- replacement (with matching groups)
- color (with color chooser editor
- testbench: to try a string and its result
Let me see if I can create a mockup for it. This UI interface should be implemented as plugins to allow others to extend and complete different customizations or autocompletions
