overview

Gitpod by default generates a ~/.gitconfig file which is in conflict with the Gitpod feature of "bring your own dotfiles"

problem

[credential]
        helper = /usr/bin/gp credential-helper
  • are these defaults needed?
[push]
        default = simple
[alias]
        lg = log --color --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit
[credential]
        helper = /usr/bin/gp credential-helper
[user]
        name = Geoffrey Huntley
        email = ghuntley@ghuntley.com
  • can we not run git config credential.helper = /usr/bin/gp credential-helper instead of shipping a .gitconfig thus removing default failure modes for standard tools like stow?

Removed the ~feedback-issue label and the title prefix to avoid any confusion as feedback issues are used to gather feedback, suggestions, and experiences from users while iterating on a specific product feature.

Cross-posting also the recently updated issue template description in #11244.
