Prints the value of a given configuration key.

## Synopsis

By default, the lookup order is: environment variables, then the local
repository configuration, then the global configuration. Use `--global` to
read only from the global configuration file, or `--host` to read a
per-host setting.

If the key is not set, nothing is printed.
