Subject: Make gitconfig system independent by using m4.
X-Git-Url: https://ruderich.org/simon/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4f6e80b96fd0b0ff17f83521c5b6fd7a44c0521f;p=config%2Fdotfiles.git

Make gitconfig system independent by using m4.

This replaces HOME with the current home directory. This was necessary as git
needs an absolute path for excludesfile.

gitconfig.m4 is automatically created when calling `make setup`.
