there's a bunch of blog posts about what defaults everyone probably should override, i disagree with a few of them, but generally, diff.algorithm = histogram, commit.verbose = true, branch.sort = -committerdate are the ones i would recommend (diff.algorithm for better git with refactors, commit.verbose to show the full diff in the editor when you write the message, allowing you to doublecheck what is being committed with better navigation than less (or at least i hope your editor has better navigation than less), and branch.sort to show first those that have recently changed rather than alphanumeric sort

a lot will also recommend diff.colorMoved = true but i think it's confusing bc the colours are badly chosen (imo) and it doesn't highlight where something moved, only that it did move from somewhere or to somewhere
