As soon as I try to open a project in sourcetree on windwos I get the following error
"fatal: unable to access '"C:\Users\<user>"/.config/git/config': Invalid argument"
why I sourcetrree loking in the directory and how to chnage that? My global Git config is on
'"C:\Users\<user>"/.gitconfig'
I tried a lot already any help welcome
Hi Daniel,
I had the same issue.
To fix it I opened Environment Variables (open Control Panel -> System -> Advanced system settigns, tab: Advanced, click Environment Variables...).
In User variables for <user> had a variable: HOME with value
"c:\Users\<user>"
Replace the value with value:
c:/Users/<user>/
Now should work fine!
Cheers,
Robert
You sir, are a star! I've been having issues with Source Tree not reading my global configuration for some reason and kept creating a local copy of .git that I didn't want.
Adding this Env Variable sorted it out :)

How can I solve this issue if I don't have permissions to change system variables or my .gitconfig is not located in the HOME directory?

Hi Robert
Excellent! That worked!
I was searching for months for a solution to that.
Thx again, Daniel
