git_config_add_file_ondisk

Version:

Add an on-disk config file instance to an existing config

The on-disk file pointed at by path will be opened and parsed; it's expected to be a native Git config file following the default Git config syntax (see man git-config).

If the file does not exist, the file will still be added and it will be created the first time we write to it.

Note that the configuration object will free the file automatically.

Further queries on this config object will access each of the config file instances in order (instances with a higher priority level will be accessed first).
