I was trying to make my .gitconfig cleaner and easier to maintain, and I found that variable expansion isn't a thing. Why is that?
A use case that this would be useful is having several commands requiring the same parameters which is long and hard to read, such as a regex. You can see my question on SO here <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72005402/is-there-a-way-to-define-and-use-a-user-defined-variable-in-the-gitconfig-file> . Also an answer was submitted, it is a very roundabout way to do something that should be very simple. There is the %(var) expansion for paths available, why isn't a similar expansion available for simple text? Perhaps by using curly braces rather than parenthesis? Is there a place where I could request this as a feature? Cheers, JAZ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
