Or we could simply ignore versions of GFW that are 2+ years old:
On Windows systems, Git looks for the global
.gitconfig
file in the%USERPROFILE%
directory (C:\Users\%USERNAME%
for most people). It also looks for the system config file at[path]/etc/gitconfig
, where[path]
is wherever Git was installed on your system.
I'd say ignore the really old stuff. 😉 People should not be using a version of Git for Windows that old anyway. 👻
What do you think @ben?
That sounds right to me.

2023-10-27 So I tried following Chapter 1 of the current version, and followed along trying to use the latest information to get set up, and I have to say that something is missing. I have no clue how to use GIT, and this didn't help me get set up using GIT for Windows and trying to connect to my GIT account. Please consider getting someone who doesn't know GIT to use your instructions without your help, then fix them so that people who are new to all this can actually figure it out.
BTW, I'm on 2.42.0.Windows.2
