And probably assuming that .git/config was referring to the root of repository, and not relative to .git/, which is a reasonable assumption. Of course he had no way of resolving this as git wasn't telling him where it wasn't finding the file. i.e. Can't find: ~/myrepo/.git/.gitconfig which would have instantly told him where the problem was. -- ________________________________________________ Stas Bekman <'))))>< <'))))>< https://stasosphere.com https://chestofbooks.com https://experientialsexlab.com https://stason.org https://stasosphere.com/experience-life/my-books
