How to locate the git config file in Mac [duplicate]

The global Git configuration file is stored at $HOME/.gitconfig on all platforms.

However, you can simply open a terminal and execute git config, which will write the appropriate changes to this file. You shouldn't need to manually tweak .gitconfig, unless you particularly want to.


You don't need to find the file.

Only write this instruction on terminal:

git config --global --edit

I use this function which is saved in .bash_profile and it works a treat for me.

function show_hidden () {
        { defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles $1; killall -HUP Finder; }
}

How to use:

show_hidden true|false 

The solution to the problem is:

  1. Find the .gitconfig file

  2. [user] name = 1wQasdTeedFrsweXcs234saS56Scxs5423 email = [email protected] [credential] helper = osxkeychain [url ""] insteadOf = git:// [url "https://"] [url "https://"] insteadOf = git://

there would be a blank url="" replace it with url="https://"

[user]
    name = 1wQasdTeedFrsweXcs234saS56Scxs5423
    email = [email protected]
[credential]
    helper = osxkeychain
[url "https://"]
    insteadOf = git://
[url "https://"]
[url "https://"]
    insteadOf = git://

This will work :)
