    Get the value of a key in the git configuration file

    key
        The name of the configuration key to get

        .. versionchanged:: 2015.8.0
            Argument renamed from ``setting_name`` to ``key``

    cwd
        The path to the git checkout

        .. versionchanged:: 2015.8.0
            Now optional if ``global`` is set to ``True``

    global : False
        If ``True``, query the global git configuration. Otherwise, only the
        local git configuration will be queried.

        .. versionadded:: 2015.8.0

    all : False
        If ``True``, return a list of all values set for ``key``. If the key
        does not exist, ``None`` will be returned.

        .. versionadded:: 2015.8.0

    user
        User under which to run the git command. By default, the command is run
        by the user under which the minion is running.

    password
        Windows only. Required when specifying ``user``. This parameter will be
        ignored on non-Windows platforms.

      .. versionadded:: 2016.3.4

    ignore_retcode : False
        If ``True``, do not log an error to the minion log if the git command
        returns a nonzero exit status.

        .. versionadded:: 2015.8.0

    output_encoding
        Use this option to specify which encoding to use to decode the output
        from any git commands which are run. This should not be needed in most
        cases.

        .. note::
            This should only be needed if the files in the repository were
            created with filenames using an encoding other than UTF-8 to handle
            Unicode characters.
