[git-users] Re: could not lock file gitconfig: permission denied
Yes, I did. It seems to be a problem with git GUI (git-gui version 0.16). On bash it is working, but not using the GUI. It is not only a warning message, but the commit doesn't take place. I'll try a different GUI. I'm somehow fixed to make GUI working, since I won't convince my collegues to use any version control if there is no GUI... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.

[git-users] Re: could not lock file gitconfig: permission denied
I restarted Git Bash (I see, it is necessary). Git doesn't complain any more, but does not write in the file where it looks later. After playing around with, I have now 3 config files: C:\Program Files\Git\etc\gitconfig, and two in my home directory: gitconfig and .gitconfig (with and without dot in the beginning). The latter one appeared at some point, when I was setting HOME manually to my home drive. I edited the user information in all three files manually. Git seems to look only in C:\Program Files\Git\etc\gitconfig . If the information is in this file, everything is fine. If not, I get the message tell me who you are, independently of the information in the other files. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.

You should retrace your steps to see with under which exact settings the .gitconfig gets created in your home-dir, and then, using git config -l, see if changes in the .gitconfig file in your home-dir has any effect. Keep in mind that git config -l will output the *sum *of configuration entries, including both the ones in home-dir and in etc/gitconfig. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.

[git-users] Re: could not lock file gitconfig: permission denied
Here the different cases I tried: 1.) changing the initial line HOME=$HOMEDRIVE$HOMEPATH to HOME=$USERPROFILE. Creates .gitconfig when I call git config --global user.name Name. This file contains only the user (name, email) information. Changes are seen by -l. Commit fails with tell me who you are. 2.) changing the initial line HOME=$HOMEDRIVE$HOMEPATH to HOME = C:/Documents and Settings/me/. Same behaviour as in 1.) 3) adding a line HOME = C:/Documents and Settings/mbader/ after the complete section where home is defined. Git Bash start with an error message HOME command not found, but I can use it. Git behaves later as if this line is not existing. git config -l sees changes in .gitconfig and in C:\Program Files\Git\etc\gitconfig, but not in C:\Documents and Settings\me\gitconfig. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.
