Clarify that --global configuration is not applicable system-wide, but only within the scope of the logged in as current user.

  • I provide my work under the project license.
  • I grant such license of my work as is required for the purposes of future print editions to Ben Straub and Scott Chacon.

Changes

add "while logged in as you"

Context

Configuration via the --global option does not affect everything "on that system". I believe it is limited in scope to the user. This change attempt to make that clear. It could be worded better but I'm struggling to come with anything better than this!

Sorry, something went wrong.

Uh oh!
