But generally in UNIX you would have a default profile in /etc which is read first, so you would set here at a minimum for all purpose except administration stuff and customize the extra needs in the users $HOME/.profile
Since you did not give your OS, there is not much more to say...

git-peek-remote
GIT-PEEK-REMOTE(1) Git Manual GIT-PEEK-REMOTE(1)
NAME
git-peek-remote - List the references in a remote repository
SYNOPSIS
git peek-remote [--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>] [<host>:]<directory>
DESCRIPTION
This command is deprecated; use git ls-remote instead.
OPTIONS
--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>
Use this to specify the path to git-upload-pack on the remote side, if it is not found on your $PATH. Some installations of sshd
ignores the user's environment setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and your privately installed git may not be found on
the system default $PATH. Another workaround suggested is to set up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people who do not
want to pay the overhead for non-interactive shells, but prefer having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of the things up in
.bash_profile).
<host>
A remote host that houses the repository. When this part is specified, git-upload-pack is invoked via ssh.
<directory>
The repository to sync from.
