Well, depends on what you're after. The file ~/.gitconfig stores the so-called "global" configuration, which is per-user (there also exist two other levels: "system" and local to a particular Git repository). So, we hypothesized you have lots of stuff accreted in your global config. If you want to delete it, simply _move_ the file ~/.gitconfig somewhere (the easiest it so just rename it), and then see whether your offending config stuff is gone. There is no need to recreate that file: Git will do that automatically whenever you call `git config` with the "--global" command-line option. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
