How do I add a config value for 'git-together.active'

Ran in to a problem and had to uninstall/reinstall Eclipse (Neon). Having trouble getting connected back to git with the IDE, so I went to the Git Bash command line.

When trying to commit to my local repo, I typed:

git commit -m "Added files after reconnected to source control"

This returns:

Error: error getting git config for 'git-together.active'
Caused by: config value 'git-together.active' was not found; class=Config (7); code=NotFound (-3)

This sounds like I'm missing an entry in my config file for 'git-together.active', but I can find no example of how at add this to my config. I've reviewed all the 'related' questions but can't find a solution.

Thanks for any guidance, I'm a git novice.

Solution

Check your .bashrc for any alias git=git-together, as seen in this question.

That is also why git-together has issue 44

A paper cut felt among engineers relates to the practice of aliasing git with git-together and interacting with repositories that have opted out of git together config.

The UX looks a bit like this at the moment:
git commit -m "making changes"
Error: error getting git config for 'git-together.active'
Caused by: config value 'git-together.active' was not found; class=Config (7); >code=NotFound (-3)
which causes friction and friction is a turn off for wider adoption.

It would be great if instead this tool emitted a warning so that its visible that this repo a person is interacting with is not yet configured for git-together but allowed the git process to continue.

The OP mentions not finding an alias though:

After reinstalling Eclipse and getting it set up with Git, the problem went way.
