[Question] etc/gitconfig and .gitconfig missing errors

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,

Question from my community. The standard git install does not automatically
create
the /usr/local/etc directory if it does not exist, so the git config
--system fails.
If etc/gitconfig is missing, the command also fails. Similarly, if
~/.gitconfig is missing,
git config -global fails.

Is this intended? I have been telling my people that they should pre-create
those files
with appropriate security. I have mused that having git auto-create this
file may
introduce potential CVEs, explaining the situation. Is this assumption
correct?

Thanks,
Randall
