Skip configure step post-install #2010
Description
Feature description
I have recently started working with GCM in a limited fashion and was surprised that during installation (on macOS) GCM inserted itself into my Git Config.
While generally nice of GCM to be "ready" post-install, touching the global (user) Git config is an annoyance for me because I managed my dotfiles (including the Git Config) manually. To prepare for GCM I would have put the expected settings in there upfront.
Is there a way to skip this post-install/configure step? Why do I ask? Because my macOS dotfiles should work on Intel and ARM based Macs and the GCM helper path added to the global config is platform/CPU bound (/usr/local vs /opt/homebrew) and cannot be reused across systems.
The best I found for now is manually using helper = %(prefix)/git-credential-manager but I still have to verify that on ARM Macs.
Somewhat related to #1696 – if I could tell GCM to use an alternative file instead, that'd be also fine.
