How to make Git pull use rebase by default for all my repositories?

Question

Is there a way to setup the host Git repository such that any git pull done from its (local) clones uses --rebase by default? By searching on Stack

Answer 1

This makes the --rebase option the default when issuing a git pull on a given branch.

@Flimm, I needed to add true to make your first option work.

So the correct syntax is:

git config branch..rebase true

To run this command on the develop branch:

git config branch.develop.rebase true

And now the develop section in .git/config looks like this:

[branch "develop"]
        remote = origin
        merge = refs/heads/develop
        rebase = true
