function Set-GitConfiguration {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Sets Git configuration options

    .DESCRIPTION
    The `Set-GitConfiguration` function sets Git configuration variables. These variables change Git's behavior. Git has hundreds of variables and we can't document them here. Some are shared between Git commands. Some variables are only used by specific commands. The `git help config` help topic lists most of them.

    By default, this function sets options for the current repository, or a specific repository using the `RepoRoot` parameter. To set options for the current user across all repositories, use the `-Global` switch. If running in an elevated process, `Set-GitConfiguration` will look in `$env:HOME` and `$env:USERPROFILE` (in that order) for a .gitconfig file. If it can't find one, it will create one in `$env:HOME`. If the `HOME` environment variable isn't defined, it will create a `.gitconfig` file in the `$env:USERPROFILE` directory.

    If running in a non-elevated process, `Set-GitConfiguration` will look in `$env:HOME`, `$env:HOMEDRIVE$env:HOMEPATH`, and `$env:USERPROFILE` (in that order) and use the first `.gitconfig` file it finds. If it can't find a `.gitconfig` file, it will create a `.gitconfig` in the `$env:HOME` directory. If the `HOME` environment variable isn't defined, it will create the `.gitconfig` file in the `$env:HOMEDRIVE$env:HOMEPATH` directory.

    To set the configuration in a specific file, use the `Path` parameter. If the file doesn't exist, it is created.

    This function implements the `git config` command.

    .EXAMPLE
    Set-GitConfiguration -Name 'core.autocrlf' -Value 'false'

    Demonstrates how to set the `core.autocrlf` setting to `false` for the repository in the current directory.

    .EXAMPLE
    Set-GitConfiguration -Name 'core.autocrlf' -Value 'false' -Global

    Demonstrates how to set a configuration variable so that it applies across all a user's repositories by using the `-Global` switch.

    .EXAMPLE
    Set-GitConfiguration -Name 'core.autocrlf' -Value 'false' -RepoRoot 'C:\Projects\PowerGit'

    Demonstrates how to set a configuration variable for a specific repository. In this case, the configuration for the repository at `C:\Projects\PowerGit` will be updated.
