"fatal: could not read <wrong home path>/.stCommitMsg" when attempting to commit from tig #1272

Issue

Unable to commit from tig.

fatal: could not read '/Users/ben/.stCommitMsg': No such file or directory
Press Enter to continue

Because ben isn't my username. Is there a way to configure this? If not, maybe this is bug?

This message is from Git, not from Tig. Check your Git configuration, especially commit.template.

gah, you're absolutely right 🤦‍♂️ Not sure how long that config has been there, or which other app added it. And why has no other app complained about it...

In any case, problem fixed. Thanks for the help!
