Git user.name continuously removed/reset

At least once a day it seems that my Git global configuration value for user.name gets reset to a blank value. Of course I only find out when I go to commit and it barks at me. I've tried removing and readding, replacing all matching keys. Here are the following specs/configs I would think are relevant:

  • MacBook Pro 15,1 (2018)
  • macOS 11.1
  • iTerm2 v3.4.3
  • Git v2.24.3 (Apple Git-128)

I also have Oh My Zsh installed, master commit SHA b28665a.


Solution 1:

I managed to fix this by manually removing the entry for "credential.helper=osxkeychain" in my global config file.
