[Bug]: $GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL ignored

slnc commented 4 weeks ago

Describe the bug

I use $GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL to point git to my .gitconfig, which doesn't live in ~/.gitconfig, but Obsidian Git is ignoring it.

Relevant errors (if available) from notifications or console (`CTRL+SHIFT+I`)

- Obsidian Git complains that it can't find my credentials whenever it tries to make a backup.
- Git commits are created but with the wrong authorship and no GPG-signing occurs.

Steps to reproduce

Set env var $GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL through ~/.zshrc to a location other than ~/.gitconfig and ensure no ~/.gitconfig file exists.

Expected Behavior

Obsidian Git uses the .gitconfig file pointed at by $GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL.

Addition context

No response

Operating system

Windows

Installation Method

None

Plugin version

2.20.5

Your .zshrc is not read since no zsh shell is started. You need to set the environment variable somewhere so that Obsidian gets it when started. The easiest way though is through the "Additional environment variables" setting in the plugin settings.

Thanks @Vinzent03, problem solved, I had missed that setting on the plugin settings page.
