Dear Git User-group, I am having a setup where I use worktrees and I was now experimenting with adding git aliases to work more efficiently with the commands. However I found that obviously it does not seem to work like I would like to have it: My intention is to have a ".gitconfig" file as part of the repo so that all developers can easily get to the same configuration that was setup and also to have the config tracked as part of the repo. We are using Git for Windows v2.28 and also git 2.28 on Linux. I printed my config from my windows machine below. You will also see that I have two aliases defined now at two places: - The "sts" alias in an include file from my personal .gitconfig ni my HOME - The "st" alias in the include file that is part of the repository which is included in the config of the worktree Only the "sts" alias is recognized by git and works, while the "st" is unknown. But both of the aliases show equally in the below "git config -list". WHY is the one working and the other one not! HOW can I get both working equally? Any hints or help is greatly appreciated. Thanks and best regards, Frank me@MYPC /c/WORK/my_src/wt_KER-dev-B (Features/2.1/gitUtilities|SPARSE) $ git config --list --show-origin file:D:/Programs/GitForWindows/etc/gitconfig http.sslcainfo=D:/Programs/GitForWindows/mingw64/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt file:D:/Programs/GitForWindows/etc/gitconfig http.sslbackend=openssl file:D:/Programs/GitForWindows/etc/gitconfig diff.astextplain.textconv=astextplain file:D:/Programs/GitForWindows/etc/gitconfig filter.lfs.clean=git-lfs clean -- %f file:D:/Programs/GitForWindows/etc/gitconfig filter.lfs.smudge=git-lfs smudge -- %f file:D:/Programs/GitForWindows/etc/gitconfig filter.lfs.process=git-lfs filter-process file:D:/Programs/GitForWindows/etc/gitconfig filter.lfs.required=true file:D:/Programs/GitForWindows/etc/gitconfig credential.helper=manager file:D:/Programs/GitForWindows/etc/gitconfig core.autocrlf=true file:D:/Programs/GitForWindows/etc/gitconfig core.fscache=true file:D:/Programs/GitForWindows/etc/gitconfig core.symlinks=false file:D:/Programs/GitForWindows/etc/gitconfig pull.rebase=false file:C:/Users/myaccount/.gitconfig user.name=My Name file:C:/Users/myaccount/.gitconfig mailto:user.email=me@xxxxxxx file:C:/Users/myaccount/.gitconfig receive.denycurrentbranch=updateInstead file:C:/Users/myaccount/.gitconfig include.path=.gitconfig.aliases file:C:/Users/myaccount/.gitconfig.aliases alias.sts=status -s file:C:/WORK/my_src/_MAIN/.git/config core.repositoryformatversion=1 file:C:/WORK/my_src/_MAIN/.git/config core.filemode=false file:C:/WORK/my_src/_MAIN/.git/config core.bare=false file:C:/WORK/my_src/_MAIN/.git/config core.logallrefupdates=true file:C:/WORK/my_src/_MAIN/.git/config core.ignorecase=true file:C:/WORK/my_src/_MAIN/.git/config core.symlinks=true file:C:/WORK/my_src/_MAIN/.git/config core.longpaths=true file:C:/WORK/my_src/_MAIN/.git/config mailto:remote.origin.url=git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx:project.git file:C:/WORK/my_src/_MAIN/.git/config remote.origin.fetch=+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* file:C:/WORK/my_src/_MAIN/.git/config branch.master.remote=origin file:C:/WORK/my_src/_MAIN/.git/config branch.master.merge=refs/heads/master file:C:/WORK/my_src/_MAIN/.git/config extensions.worktreeconfig=true file:C:/WORK/my_src/_MAIN/.git/config fetch.prune=true file:C:/WORK/my_src/_MAIN/.git/config fetch.prunetags=true file:C:/WORK/my_src/_MAIN/.git/worktrees/wt_KER-dev-B/config.worktree include.path=C:/WORK/my_src/wt_KER-dev-B/.gitconfig file:C:/WORK/my_src/wt_KER-dev-B/.gitconfig core.hookspath=devops/git/hooks file:C:/WORK/my_src/wt_KER-dev-B/.gitconfig core.longpaths=true file:C:/WORK/my_src/wt_KER-dev-B/.gitconfig extensions.worktreeconfig=true file:C:/WORK/my_src/wt_KER-dev-B/.gitconfig fetch.prune=true file:C:/WORK/my_src/wt_KER-dev-B/.gitconfig fetch.prunetags=true file:C:/WORK/my_src/wt_KER-dev-B/.gitconfig alias.st=status file:C:/WORK/my_src/_MAIN/.git/worktrees/wt_KER-dev-B/config.worktree core.sparsecheckout=true me@MYPC /c/WORK/my_src/wt_KER-dev-B (Features/2.1/gitUtilities|SPARSE) $ git st git: 'st' is not a git command.
