Hi,
Supposed that I'm writing git-foobar script ("git-foobar.sh"), which
takes configuration variable "foobar.something" (string type).
How can I add that configuration variable so that it can be used by the
script?

You can just add it. :) Git doesn't complain when it finds configuration
parameters it doesn't know anything about, it just ignores them.
E.g. in your .gitconfig or individual repository .git/config:
[foobar]
something = yourvalue

Or just:
git config [--global] foobar.something yourvalue

In addition to that, unless it is a script for your throw-away use
that we do not have to worry about, consider if the users of "git
foobar" needs to override a configured value with --no-something or
--something=anothervalue from the command line, and if so, make sure
these command line options are available to them.

you might want this in --global instead, but assuming it is ok to be
repository specific:
$ git config foobar.something baz
and in your script
baz=$(git config foobar.something)
