dolt config manages Dolt configuration settings at global and repository-local levels. Essential settings include user identity (name and email) used in commit authorship.
Global configuration applies to all repositories for the user, while local configuration is repository-specific. Local settings override global ones when both exist.
Configuration is stored in files similar to Git's config system, with the same precedence rules for local vs. global settings.
