Hi Junio, Thank you for picking up both of these topics. I sent a final reroll to tb/config-type, which I see has made it successfully to 'pu'. I noticed that tb/config-default, however, only landed two commits: - builtin/config: introduce `color` type specifier - config.c: introduce 'git_config_color' to parse ANSI colors but not: - builtin/config: introduce `--default` As such, I am able to build on 'pu', but the `--default` option is missing: ~/g/git (pu) $ ./git-config --type=color --default red core.doesntexist error: unknown option `default' Please advise. Thanks, Taylor
