我也遇到过类似的问题;问题是.gitconfig文件位于

C:\Users\MyLogin\.gitconfig\

(适用于windows7)

换句话说，该文件位于c:\ users \ mylogin \.gitconfig\。而不是c:\ users \ mylogin \。gitconfig(这是Git寻找文件的地方)。

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

我还在我的Windows机器上寻找全局的.gitconfig，并用git找到了这个巧妙的技巧。

执行a: gitconfig——global -e，然后，如果你幸运的话，你会得到一个文本编辑器加载你的全局.gitconfig文件。只需从那里查找文件夹(或尝试另存为…)，等voilà!: -)

正如@MatrixFrog在他们的评论中指出的，如果目标是编辑配置，你可能想要运行:

git config --global --edit

这个命令将在选择的编辑器中打开配置文件(在本例中是——global文件)，并等待文件关闭(就像git rebase -i期间一样)。

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.
