Set magit to pull with rebase by default

Question

Recent versions of Magit (>=2.3) have snazzy new popups with variables that feature more than two options.

Here, r cycles between the three values: true, false, and default:false.

I almost always pull with rebase, so how can I make the default default:true instead?

Answer 1

The default for the repository can be changed from the branch popup: b M-r.... The branch popup is used for creating, checking out, and modifying branches.

To set the global default use git config --global pull.rebase true.
