Message-ID: <20210514065508.247044-1-firminmartin24@gmail.com> (raw)

+ - test_config <config-option> [<value>]
+
+ Set the configuration option <config-option> to <value>, and unset it at the
+ end of the current test. For a similar purpose, test_config_global for
+ global configuration is also available. Note, however, that test_config_*
+ should not be used under a subshell.

+ Example:
+
+ test_config format.coverLetter auto
+
+ Is a concise way to write:
+ test_when_finished "git config --unset format.coverLetter" &&
+ git config format.coverLetter auto
