Git

Global git config with templated identity, three diff pagers, an nvim difftool, and gh/tea credential helpers.

Git’s global config is a single chezmoi template. It sets the commit identity from chezmoi data, routes diffs through diffnav and git-split-diffs, styles delta for the tools that call it, and delegates HTTPS credentials to gh and tea.

Identity

[user]
	email = {{ .email }}
	name = {{ .name }}

.name and .email are prompted once by .chezmoi.toml.tmpl on the first chezmoi init and stored in the local chezmoi config. No role or OS condition changes this file.

Pagers

Three pagers are configured, each for a different path:

less -+LFX resets the -L, -F, and -X flags, so less always takes over the screen and never exits early on short output.

delta styling

The [delta] section is not a pager setting; delta reads it whenever it runs. Here that means diffnav and lazygit, which renders diffs with delta --dark --paging=never.

Added and removed lines keep syntax highlighting (syntax foreground) on dark green and dark red backgrounds.

Difftool

[diff]
	tool = codediff
[difftool "codediff"]
	cmd = nvim \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\" +\"CodeDiff file $LOCAL $REMOTE\"

git difftool opens both versions in Neovim and runs the :CodeDiff command, which comes from the external nvim config. Lazygit’s openDiffTool binding (<c-t>) uses the same tool.

Remotes and push

Credential helpers

Each host block first sets an empty helper =, which clears any helper inherited from system config, then adds one helper:

No credentials are stored in the file itself.

Related helpers

These git-adjacent commands live in ~/.local/bin and the shell function directories. See shell scripts for the full set.
