The projects I've failed to snap

gistup: Create a gist from terminal, then use git to update it.

The first problem with this snap was that it wanted to read /etc/mailname. This was reported in bug #1630690, which is now resolved.

The problem now is that in order to make this snap useful, it needs to access $HOME/.gitconfig. That is being discussed here:

Accessing git config from a strict snap

We have an application that we’ve snapped that performs a git merge for us. When installed in strict mode, it doesn’t use the .gitconfig in a user’s HOME directory (as it’s redirected to the snap’s HOME). This is problematic in the git case because the user’s name and email address are stored in the .gitconfig file, so access to the configuration file would need to be per-user. Is there anything that can be done, or will we need to switch back to classic confinement?
