With help from hkotsubo [in the comments][1], it seems you can follow the behavior [described by Git's documentation][2]. This will work until they change it, at least for your \*Nixes and \*BSDs:
```bash
path="${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/git/config"
[[ -f "$path" ]] && echo "$path" || echo "$HOME/.gitconfig"
```
