How to add a file to the home directories of all existing and future users
Solution 1:
Yo will need to use two procedures , first for already created accounts :

and another one for future users :

Solution 2:
It'll be easier if users and nodes that need to have git are managed by puppet:
class git {
packakge { "git":
ensure => installed,
}
}
class users {
user { ... }
file { "/home/${user}/.gitconfig":
ensure => present,
content => template("gitconfig"),
require => Class["git"],
}
}
Then for each git node, include class git.
