[git-users] Re: Failing command: git config --global user.name "RichardOnRails"

Last idea.

The Windows installer for Git put Git\cmd's directory on the path and
failed to put Git\bin's directory on the path.  I think that's a bug
in the Windows installer for Git.

Best wishes,
Richard

Hi Konstantin,

Problem solved:  The Git\bin dir wasn't on the path; additionally, I
think my PATH environment string was getting too long.  I fixed both
problems and:

K:\>git config --global user.name "RLMuller"

K:\>

In other words: SUCCESS.

Thanks for looking into my problem.

Best wishes,
Richard

[git-users] Re: Failing command: git config --global user.name "RichardOnRails"

[RichardOnRails]

Thanks for your response Konstantin,

Following are several results from the Command window (it doesn't look
like it'll help you much):

K:\>set GIT_TRACE=1

K:\>git config --global user.name "RLMuller"
The system cannot find the path specified.
What does '1 ' for GIT_TRACE mean?
If you want to trace into a file, then please set GIT_TRACE to an
absolute pathname (starting with /).
Defaulting to tracing on stderr...
trace: built-in: git 'config' '--global' 'user.name' 'RLMuller'

K:\>trace: built-in: git 'config' '--global' 'user.name' 'RLMuller'
'trace:' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

K:\>set GIT_TRACE=K:\Temp\ZZ_GitTrace.txt

K:\>git config --global user.name "RLMuller"
The system cannot find the path specified.

K:\>type K:\Temp\ZZ_GitTrace.txt
trace: built-in: git 'config' '--global' 'user.name' 'RLMuller'

Oh, and I forgot to add that this is most probably a MsysGit-specific
problem so this should better be moved to its list, which is
msysgit at googlegroups.com

Try this:
K:\> set GIT_TRACE=1
K:\> git config --global user.name "RichardOnRails"

and show what it prints out.

[git-users] Failing command: git config --global user.name "RichardOnRails"

[RichardOnRails]

When I issue the following command in a Command window:
K:\>git config --global user.name "RichardOnRails"
I get the following response:
The system cannot find the path specified.

I'm a Git nubie running Git 1.7.3.1 on WindowsXP-Pro/SP3.  I can get
Git running with a "Git Gui" icon in my Start window.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in Advance,
Richard

[git-users] Re: Git Master Reference

[Thomas Ferris Nicolaisen]

Impressive!

Some tips: Insert some linebreaks in the code sections (they don't wrap 
automatically) so the page doesn't get so wide.

You should also add your resource here, if it isn't 
already: https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/GitDocumentation

And add a link to the dzone page on top of the wiki page :)

[git-users] Git Master Reference

[Evgeny Goldin]

Hi,
As I was reading Git books, manuals and tutorials I was putting all links, 
code examples, diagrams and explanations to one Wiki page. Eventually it 
became a Master Reference of everything about Git: 
evgeny-goldin.com/wiki/Git.
Hope you find it useful and if you don't mind than adding a vote on 
DZonewould be very nice 
as well.
