+## Useful git configuration
+Git configuration can help you a lot with the projects. Here are a few useful options-
+* `push.default=current` - When typing `git push` without any branch name, it will push the current branch automatically.
+* `core.excludesfile=~/.gitignore` - Useful to create a global .gitignore file.
+* `core.autocrlf=input` - Helps to set the line-endings to the unix standard. Useful for anyone who might have windows-style line-endings for some reason.
+* `pull.rebase=true` - Automatically rebase if needed, when doing a fast-forward pull from remote.
+* `help.autocorrect=50` - If you make a spelling mistake in the git command, git will automatically guess which command you wanted to run, and run it for you correctly.
