I'm new to git, and I'm doubting how can I synchronize config files between developers.
Let's say I want all developers to have core.autocrlf set to true, or the same commit template, how can I do it?
Any idea?
Thanks!

What platform are your developers on? Is it homogeneous? – Bernard Jan 27 '10 at 05:28

At the moment, Linux. But it is possible that some wind*ws developers will be working in the same project. But I also want other configuration flags to be homogeneous between the team, like the commit template. Thanks – alcuadrado Jan 27 '10 at 05:31

Check the git config files into Visual SourceSafe. – Jay Jan 27 '10 at 05:50

There is no such guarantee in a DVCS (as in "Distributed"), since local settings beat global settings.
But in a closed environment (where the population of developers have accessed to a common and shared set of resources), you can:
- encapsulate the
git initprocess (to use a template, for common settings) - Force the
GIT_CONFIGenvironment variable to a shared read-only file (on Linux, accessed through Samba from Windows users), to force all config settings to be read from there.
This is not a full-proofed solution, but it can get you started.
