Historical Context

The configuration file structure in Git has evolved with the software itself. Initially, Git did not have a per-repository configuration file; all settings were either hardcoded or managed through environment variables. With the introduction of the git config command in Git 1.5.0 (released in April 2007), the ability to customize repository behavior at multiple levels was added, including the local repository level.
