Awesome! Thanks for the advice. %HOMEDRIVE% and %HOMEPATH% are indeed set by my system and point to an (often disconnected) network drive. I manually forced %HOME% to %USERPROFILE% and it works like a charm now. I would argue that on Windows %USERPROFILE% should be checked first (or at least after %HOME%). Why? Then people won't be able to have their config files on network-shares, no? I think a somewhat better approach would be to resolve the home directory lazily, unless %HOME% is set. That way we can check that %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% actually exists as it's being accessed.

Location of git config on Windows
I installed git on my Windows machine while it was connected to my corporate network. It picked up on that fact and used a mapped drive to store its configuration file. As a result, I cannot currently use git when disconnected from my network. It throws the following error message: fatal: unable to access 'Z:\/.config/git/config': Invalid argument Obviously this value is stored in the registry somewhere because I made an attempt to uninstall and reinstall git with the same results. Can someone give me some guidance here? Best, Daniel P.S.
