I installed GitExtensions for the main purpose of using GitHub with my visual studio 2010. When I start up GitExtensions, I get 2 errors in my checklist and also a startup error that says:
Access to path 'c:\program files(x86)\GitExtensions\.gitconfig' is denied
.
There is no .gitconfig file in that directory. It wont allow me to setup the needed information such as my name and email. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
It shouldn't be looking for .gitconfig there.
It should be in C:\users\username\.gitconfig
Make sure you have setting like below:
