How Core Git Developers Configure Git
What `git config` settings should be defaults by now? Here are some settings that even the core developers change.

I see no problem with this
Screenshot of the MDN page for the -webkit-text-stroke CSS property. A banner exclaims "Baseline widely available" with all major browsers checked off as supporting the property.
