@Lrrr .git/config isn't the same as ~/.gitconfig: the former is the local config to a repo, the latter is the global config. Are you using git for windows 2.4.4?

I did that, and also I have a .gitignore file in %USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig but am still getting this error error: could not lock config file .git/config: No such file or directory

@BrainSlugs83 Note that with the latest Git for Windows (2.4.x: github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases), this is done for you when running git-cmd.exe.

This worked. I just created a new environment variable named HOME and set the value to %USERPROFILE%, worked great.

@user1525974 Check first your environment variables (with set, or echo %HOME% )
