214 PointsGit problem: "fatal: bad config line 1 in file /Users/username/.gitconfig"
Git displays :
fatal: bad config line 1 in file /Users/user/.gitconfig
In the /Users/user/.gitconfig file it has:
This is Git's per-user configuration file. [user] name = cj email = nnn@gmail.com [core] editor = nano
I added the core editor nano to the gitconfig and still have the fatal error.
The error shows after every command including after: running git config --global --list
after git config --global user.email email

214 PointsOk - It is fixed now. I removed the first line that explained what the file was. I had not seen that as a solution in any stackoverflow answer. But I tried it and it worked.
