The same exact config you'd have to replicate for the OP's solution is what you'd have to replicate as well. It also means your config is semi-copied into every repo instead of being centrally managed. This is like the worst of all options, idgi.

I'm sorry, I don't want to be mean but this has got to be the worst way Ive seen someone try to solve this. I want to cry skimming it. Why would anyone do this and think it's simpler? Wew, gotta just leave this one alone.
