Apply changes in ~/.gitconfig
When I make changes in my ~/.gitconfig file I find they are only reflected if I restart my computer.
Is there a command to "refresh" git so that the changes in the ~/.gitconfig file are reflected without restarting my device?
This problem is on a Mac (OS X 10.9.4), but it would be great if there is an answer that is git specific and will work across all platforms.

~/.gitconfigshould be read every time you start git. Are you using the git command line utility or some other app for git usage?
