GitExtensions Configuration error


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?


Solution

  • It shouldn't be looking for .gitconfig there.

    It should be in C:\users\username\.gitconfig Make sure you have setting like below:
