Usage

Automatically gets the nearest .git config path, starting with the current working directory, then looking in the user's home directory.

var gitConfigPath = require('git-config-path')();
//=> '/Users/jonschlinkert/dev/git-config-path/.git/config'

To force git-config-path to only look for a global config path, pass global:

//=> '/Users/jonschlinkert/.gitconfig'
