Re: [git-users] Looking for explanation why GIT configurations were lost when Partition modified
Thx for posting those locations, To my eye the files you list look unmodified. The reason why I posted is that nothing else was done except to modify the partition(making it smaller) and so far it looks like everything else is functioning properly without a problem. This partition is a typical "home" partition created formatted EXT4 on a Linux (openSUSE) system. Partition re-sizing was done with the latest version of gParted Live which AFAIK only moves disk blocks around, nothing at the file system level or higher should have been modified.

Git configuration are stored in plain text files, in these three places: * The system configuration (usually, /etc/gitconfig); * The global configuraion (usually, ~/.gitconfig); * The per-repo configuration, /.git/config So I would say the breakage you observed was caused by some other reason than partition resizing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

[git-users] Looking for explanation why GIT configurations were lost when Partition modified
Was surprised, When I re-sized and modified the partition at the disk block level (using gparted) where my GIT client folders were located, none of my directories configured as mirrors of repos on Github retained their configurations. I would have thought that the git repo information about each directory should be stored at the Filesystem or higher level, either as file attributes or as configuration files, but if that were the case I highly doubt that the partition modifications I did should have affected git configurations. Resolution for re-creating git configs should be simple, I'll just remove existing local copies, then start over by cloning and/or initializing new local repos and doing a fetch or pull. But, am still curious my git configurations didn't survive, where are configurations kept that they might be vulnerable?
