,gitconfig issues #427

Closed YenLegion closed 1 year ago

Hi, I am having some issues getting alternate .gitconfig files setup. I tried setting it up using alts, then read the other issue regarding the include but still have had not luck. I tried to parse what I could from the instructions given in the other issue, but maybe I am missing something. Would you mind explaining to me how to use alternative .gitconfig files? Thank you.

Edit - Not sure if this is useful, but when trying alts, I ran into this error.

❯ yadm add .gitconfig.local##distro.Ubuntu,hostname.bun3 fatal: exceeded maximum include depth (10) while including /home/yen/.gitconfig.local from /home/yen/.gitconfig.local This might be due to circular includes.

It repeated several times.

It sounds like you put include directives in your included .gitconfig.local. Can you show the contents of the files?

@TheLocehiliosan It looks like this is the full file in question: .gitconfig##distro.Ubuntu,hostname.bun3 @YenLegion: Please confirm.

@YenLegion - I cloned your repo "dot", and I wasn't able to produce the error you have. I'm guessing the files have since changed. I do not see any includes related to yadm alternates in your gitconfig files.

Is this still a problem you're having?

Hey! It's all working well now by using alternates, no include directives. I've changed up my dotfiles quite a bit recently. Thanks for the support, sorry it took so long to reply.
