我在Windows 8.1上使用SmartGit和msysgit，并注意到gitconfig文件可以有三个不同的位置:

%USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\etc\gitconfig
C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartGitHg\git\etc\gitconfig

但是使用的是来自%USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig的。

我认为这句话很重要:

Git for Windows supports four levels of configuration. At the lowest level is the machine specific configuration settings known as "portable" and lives a "%ProgramData%\Git\config". One priority level us the installation specific configuration settings known as "system", which live at "\mingw64\etc\gitconfig". Both of these configuration file, generally require elevated privileges to modify. Starting with the use specific values known as "global" configuration, which can be found at "%UserProfile%.gitconfig", we find the "user editable" configuration files. The highest priority configuration settings are in the "local" configuration, which can usually be found at ".git\config". It see the recommendation in the blog linked is to modify the "system" or "installation" specific configuration settings, which is fine but users should expect that other installations of Git would not absorb said settings. If you want machine wide settings, use the "portable" configuration file, otherwise choose the "global" or "local" configuration files. Hopefully, people find this information useful.

源

我正在运行Windows 7，并按照GitHub上的说明(一两年前)使用git作为安装。我认为这是一个相当常见的用例。上面的答案对我没有帮助，在经历了很多挫折后，我最终在以下目录中找到了我的“真正的”gitconfig文件;

C：\Users\Bill\AppData\Local\GitHub\PortableGit_054f2e797ebafd44a30203088cd 3D58663C627EF\etc

显然要替换用户名，PortableGit_后面的后缀是唯一的GUID或类似的。

在*nixes上，它在~/.gitconfig中。你家里有相应的文件吗?

在Windows上，你可以输入git bash

notepad ~/.gitconfig

我的全局.gitconfig也有一个问题 这是为了案例有人也有这种奇怪的情况

git说:

致命:读取配置文件时发生未知错误

现在我修好了。问题是这个文件夹中的第二个.gitconfig:

c: \ \用户myUser配置git \配置。

我不知道它从何而来……但现在一切又像魔法一样管用了。
