'Github fatal: bad config line 3 in file /home/dru7/.gitconfig
I do not understand why I cannot configure .gitconfig in Debian shell.
Look at the screen attached.
I have tried to add correct username and email based on GitHub registration, but the shell keeps returning:
fatal: bad config line 3 in file /home/dru7/.gitconfig
I have deleted the hashes in config file and still the same.
What am I doing wrong? Why is not working?
Solution 1:[1]
If depends on what is in /home/dru7/.gitconfig, but I would check:
- the error persists on
git config --global -l - if removing / simplifying the content of the file helps
As long as git config --global -l returns an error, keep removing lines around line 3, until you get to the one which was the culprit.
