I was about to write the same response. :) One small correction, though:
we don't expand $HOME in include paths. You can use "~", but easier
still is that non-absolute includes are relative to the including file.
Relative paths in includes are relative to the including file. So you
can just write ".githubconfig", etc, and we'll expect them adjacent to
$HOME/.gitconfig (or the xdg path if you use that, I guess).
