Doing: GIT_CONFIG=foo git config ...
is equivalent to: git config --file=foo ... The latter is easier to read and slightly less error-prone, because of issues with one-shot variables and shell functions (e.g., you cannot use the former with test_must_fail). Note that we explicitly leave one case in t1300 which checks the same operation on both GIT_CONFIG and "git config --file". They are equivalent in the code these days, but this will make sure it remains so. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <p...@peff.net> --- Unlike the last patch, this one has no tangible benefits besides "Peff thinks it looks better". I also tend to think that GIT_CONFIG is something that it would be nice to get rid of in the long run, but I don't have any immediate plans to do so. t/t1300-repo-config.sh | 20 ++++++++++---------- t/t1302-repo-version.sh | 2 +- t/t7400-submodule-basic.sh | 5 ++--- t/t9130-git-svn-authors-file.sh | 2 +- t/t9154-git-svn-fancy-glob.sh | 6 +++--- 5 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) diff --git a/t/t1300-repo-config.sh b/t/t1300-repo-config.sh index e355aa1..85c6637 100755 --- a/t/t1300-repo-config.sh +++ b/t/t1300-repo-config.sh @@ -461,7 +461,7 @@ test_expect_success 'new variable inserts into proper section' ' test_cmp expect .git/config ' -test_expect_success 'alternative GIT_CONFIG (non-existing file should fail)' ' +test_expect_success 'alternative --file (non-existing file should fail)' ' test_must_fail git config --file non-existing-config -l ' @@ -495,10 +495,10 @@ test_expect_success 'refer config from subdirectory' ' ' -test_expect_success 'refer config from subdirectory via GIT_CONFIG' ' +test_expect_success 'refer config from subdirectory via --file' ' ( cd x && -
