+title: Enterprise Configuration
+---
+
+`git-ai`'s behavior can be configured on developer machines by writing a JSON file in the user's home directory. 
+
+On Linux and macOS, this file is located at `$HOME/.git-ai/config.json`.
+On Windows, this file is located at `%USERPROFILE%\.git-ai\config.json`.
+
+## Options 
+
+All the options in `config.json` are optional, and will fall back to default values if not provided. 
+
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `git_path` `Path` | The path to the (unaltered) `git` binary you distribute on developer machines | Defaults to whichever git is on the shell path |
+| `ignore_prompts` `boolean` flag | Prompts be excluded from authorship logs | `false` |
+| `allow_repositories` `Path[]` | Allow `git-ai` in only these remotes | If not specified or set to an empty list, all repositories are allowed.  |
+
+```json
+{
+    "git_path": "/usr/bin/git",
+    "ignore_prompts": false,
+    "allow_repositories": [
+        "https://github.com/acunniffe/git-ai.git"
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+## Installing `git-ai` binary on developer machines
+
+When `git-ai` is installed using the [`install.sh` script](https://github.com/acunniffe/git-ai?tab=readme-ov-file#install) (reccomended for personal use) the downloaded binary will be configured to handle calls to both `git` and `git-ai`, effectively creating a wrapper/proxy to `git`. 
+
+If you would like to create a custom installation here is what `git-ai` requires to works correctly cross platform: 
+
+### Directory Structure
+
+**Unix/Linux/macOS:**
+- Install the `git-ai` binary to: `$HOME/.git-ai/bin/git-ai`
+- Create a symlink: `$HOME/.git-ai/bin/git` → `$HOME/.git-ai/bin/git-ai`
+- Create a symlink: `$HOME/.git-ai/bin/git-og` → `/path/to/original/git`
+- Make the binary executable: `chmod +x $HOME/.git-ai/bin/git-ai`
+- On macOS only: Remove quarantine attribute: `xattr -d com.apple.quarantine $HOME/.git-ai/bin/git-ai`
+
+**Windows:**
+- Install the binary to: `%USERPROFILE%\.git-ai\bin\git-ai.exe`
+- Create a copy: `%USERPROFILE%\.git-ai\bin\git.exe` (copy of `git-ai.exe`)
+- Create a batch file: `%USERPROFILE%\.git-ai\bin\git-og.cmd` that calls the original git executable
+- Unblock the downloaded files (PowerShell: `Unblock-File`)
+
+### PATH Configuration
+
+**Unix/Linux/macOS:**
+- Add `$HOME/.git-ai/bin` to the beginning of the user's PATH
+- Update the appropriate shell config file (`.zshrc`, `.bashrc`, etc.)
+
+**Windows:**
+- Add `%USERPROFILE%\.git-ai\bin` to the System PATH
+- The directory should be positioned **before** any existing Git installation directories to ensure the git-ai shim takes precedence
+
+### Configuration File
+
+Create `$HOME/.git-ai/config.json` (or `%USERPROFILE%\.git-ai\config.json` on Windows) with the options outlined at the top of this page. 
+
+### IDE/Agent Hook Installation
+
+After installing the binary and configuring PATH, run:
+
+```bash
+git-ai install-hooks
+```
+
+This sets up integration with supported IDEs and AI coding agents (Cursor, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, etc.).
+
+### Reference Implementation
+
+Our official install scripts implement all of these requirements and can serve as references:
+- Unix/Linux/macOS: [`install.sh`](https://github.com/acunniffe/git-ai/blob/main/install.sh)
+- Windows: [`install.ps1`](https://github.com/acunniffe/git-ai/blob/main/install.ps1)
+
+These scripts handle edge cases like detecting the original git path, preventing recursive installations, and gracefully handling errors.
