git using system rather than global config
When you use Git, it looks for configuration options in a few different places, including system-level, user-level, and repository-level configuration files. If Git is using the system-level configuration rather than the global configuration, you can try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Check the configuration files: First, check that your global Git configuration is set up correctly. You can do this by running the following command:
cssgit config --global --list
This will show you the configuration options that Git is currently using. Check that the options are set correctly.
Set the global configuration: If Git is not using the global configuration, you can set it explicitly by running the following command:
arduinogit config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "youremail@example.com"
Replace "Your Name" and "youremail@example.com" with your own name and email address.
Check the system-level configuration: If Git is still not using the global configuration, check the system-level configuration file. This file is usually located in
/etc/gitconfig
or/usr/local/etc/gitconfig
. Check that the options are set correctly in this file.Override the system-level configuration: If the system-level configuration is causing issues, you can override it by setting the
GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL
environment variable. Set this variable to the path of your global configuration file. For example, if your global configuration file is located at/home/yourusername/.gitconfig
, you can set theGIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL
environment variable like this:javascriptexport GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=/home/yourusername/.gitconfig
You can add this line to your shell configuration file (e.g.,
.bashrc
) to make it persistent.
By following these steps, you should be able to ensure that Git is using the correct configuration file and resolve any issues with Git using the system-level configuration rather than the global configuration.
