Yes, a default .gitconfig would be much more convenient than having to enter 
what feels like a ton of "git config" commands. So yes, some repository which 
people could just clone to get everything they need to get started would

Yes, giving these pages an overhaul would certainly be useful. I mean, I write 
that blog post [1] for a reason, after all ;)
