Share git configuration in repo

Today I learned that you can share a git config file in a repository for easily sharing certain local config settings with your team.

git config --local include.path ../.gitconfig

This adds the following to your local config

[include]
    path = ../.gitconfig

and will load any config values set in that file.

This has a couple advantages in that we only have to run a single git command and if we need to make future changes we only have to update the config file instead of requiring devs to run additional commands to get the update.

These are a couple of common settings I use on a team:

[core]
    hooksPath = ./src/git-hooks/
[blame]
    ignoreRevsFile = .git-blame-ignore-revs
