Advanced configuration
Note that now all the configuration via the extension is saved in the .git/gptcommit.toml file. If you have to change advanced configuration, you can edit the .git/gptcommit.toml file directly, but make sure you know what you are doing. You can also use the GPTCommit: Open gptcommit configuration file command to open the configuration file.
If you want to use the configuration globally, you can copy the .git/gptcommit.toml file to ~/.config/gptcommit/config.toml, or just the sections of the configuration you want to be used globally.
Also refer to the gptcommit documentation for more information.
