👉 The word "align_bin.conf" refers to a configuration file used in a binary distribution process, especially within a Git repository. Definition: A configuration file that specifies how to organize and manage dependencies for a distributed software system (e.g., libraries, packages) within a Git repository. This can include rules for ensuring that a particular package has access to the same version of an external dependency as another package, which is often used in the build process to ensure compatibility. For example: - In a project setup file (`setup.cfg` or `configure.py`): - `version` specifies the version of the software. - `depends_on` lists packages that need to be installed before this software. - `build` indicates whether the software should be built from source code or compiled into an executable. In a Git repository, you would use the `git config --global alias "alias" 'align_bin.conf'` command to create and set this configuration. This ensures that the configuration is maintained and referenced throughout the build process.
