I am new to GIT. On using the following command the terminal window shows the following image and at the end of it my user name and Email. This is very different from the GIT Manual. Why is this happening?
git config --list
Output in the terminal
Answer based on OP comment conversation:
Here, Many aliases got set in git config somehow. You can unset or edit your git config.
--global settings are saved in ~/.gitconfig file.
--local settings are saved in <repsitory>/.git/config file.
Open ~/.gitconfig file using terminal or any editor. Now remove the line you don't want in your git config list.
Unset using a terminal command:
$ git config --global --unset core.quotepath # remove your core 'quotepath'
$ git config --global --unset alias.a # remove your alias 'a'
Remove a whole section using terminal command:
$ git config --global --remove-section alias # remove the 'global alias' section
$ git config --local --remove-section alias # remove the 'local alias' section

I have a private GitHub repository that has a GitHub Action that pushes files which are created at the Action's runtime to the repository. Since yesterday (2022-04-12), the Action fails at the following step:
- name: Push data to repo
uses: github-actions-x/commit#v2.8
with:
push-branch: 'main'
commit-message: 'Add current data'
force-add: 'true'
files: *.zip
name: autoupdate
Running this step triggers the following error message:
Command line: | /usr/bin/git checkout -B main
Stderr: | fatal: unsafe repository ('/github/workspace' is owned by someone else)
| To add an exception for this directory, call:
|
| git config --global --add safe.directory /github/workspace
Based on the error message I added the following to my GitHub Action:
- name: Fix issue with repository ownership
run: |
git config --global --add safe.directory /home/runner/work/vksm/vksm
git config --global --add safe.directory /github/workspace
I have also added /home/runner/work/vksm/vksm as I was not sure if /github/workspace in the error message is meant as a generic path or not. /home/runner/work/vksm/vksm is where the checkout step puts the repository when the Action runs: /usr/bin/git init /home/runner/work/vksm/vksm
The whole sequence of steps is as follows:
steps:
- name: Checkout the repository
uses: actions/checkout#v2
- name: Fix issue with repository ownership
run: |
git config --global --add safe.directory /home/runner/work/vksm/vksm
git config --global --add safe.directory /github/workspace
- name: Set up Python 3.9
uses: actions/setup-python#v2
...
- name: Install dependencies
run: |
pip install requests
- name: Run Python script
run: |
python script.py
- name: Push data to repo
uses: github-actions-x/commit#v2.8
...
However, the error still occurs.
This questions is possibly related to Cannot add parent directory to safe.directory on git.
Windows 10
In my case "Unsafe repository is owned by someone else" resolved by command in mention folder
Use takeown from the command prompt to take ownership a folder, all its subfolders and files recursively.
takeown.exe /f . /r
This works well, but if you don't run your command line console as administrator it may fail for files you don't own.
This is happening because of a security vulnerability. The error is thrown inside the docker container before you can execute the git config commands to fix the unsafe repository problem. You need to modify the entrypoint of the docker container to execute the git command. You can check this link for details about the vulnerability.
A temporary workaround until git/action owners make a change could be to fork/clone the action that uses docker and modify it with something like this.
#!/bin/bash
set -o pipefail
# config
# ...
# Fix the unsafe repo error which was introduced by the CVE-2022-24765 git patches
git config --global --add safe.directory /github/workspace
#...
You can take a look at the comments in this issue for some ideas about a workaround.
I added the whole path to the current project:
git config --global --add safe.directory '/home/user/AndroidStudioProjects/MyRepoNameInc'
Then performed the push
git commit -m "first commit"
I had this issue with GitLab runner. spent hours doing everything. At last, it started to work after updating .gtlab-ci.yml .
Folder permissions were as below
/var/www/html/project - www-data:www-data
/var/www/html/projcect/.git - gitlab-runner:www-data
Updated script as below.
script:
- git config --global --add safe.directory /var/www/html/phase-3/public-ui
I want to execute a script every time I push into the master, this script will create some files that I want to commit and push. The log of the Travis build seems to be adding the files, committing and pushing, but nothing happens.
My .travis.yml is this one:
before_install:
- openssl aes-256-cbc -K $encrypted_290c3b2c061d_key -iv $encrypted_290c3b2c061d_iv -in id_rsa.enc -out /tmp/id_rsa -d
- eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" # Start the ssh agent
- chmod 600 /tmp/id_rsa
- ssh-add /tmp/id_rsa
install:
- wget --user $docencia_ac_username --password $docencia_ac_password http://docencia.ac.upc.edu/FIB/grau/PEC/Protegido/Documentacion/eines-sisa-64BITS.tgz
- tar -xf eines-sisa-64BITS.tgz
- export PATH=$PATH:$(pwd)/eines-sisa/bin
script:
- chmod +x ./compile_to_hex.sh
- "./compile_to_hex.sh"
after_success:
- rm -rf $TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR/tmp/
- git config --local user.name "Marc43"
- git config --local user.email "my mail"
- git add $TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR/hex/*
- git commit -m "At $(date) hex files builded - travis-ci [skip ci]"
- git push git#github.com:Marc43/sisa_hexbuilder.git master > /dev/null 2>&1
before_deploy:
- rm -rf eines-sisa*
in the git user.email it really goes my email but I decided to delete it for the question.
And the travis log for the build is:
$ git add $TRAVIS_BUILD_DIR/hex/*
$ git commit -m "At $(date) hex files builded - travis-ci [skip ci]"
[detached HEAD 10e7e48] At Sun Apr 15 08:06:17 UTC 2018 hex files builded - travis-ci [skip ci]

create mode 100644 hex/tb_sum.hex
I know that there is another way to do this via GitHub tokens or something like that, anyway I don't know how to do it one way or the other. I've tried to do it with the deploy too but it never uploaded my files, just tagged the same commit I did. Any ideas?
Thank you,
Marc
I run several repositories that need documentation compiling to distributable formats (e.g. AsciiDoc to HTML, MD to PDF), rather than having to build and commit every time I want to update the distributable, I’d like to automate this process. This is where I use TravisCI as a build server.

- sudo apt-get install pandoc
- gem install asciidoctor

Now I know there are several questions like this on overflow but several of these answers have failed miserably for me. I am using Cygwin, if it is relevant. I ran
svn export https://github.com/Wikia/app/tree/dev/extensions/wikia/AdminDashboard
to receive the result:
svn: E170000: URL 'http://github.com/Wikia/app/tree/dev/extensions/wikia/AdminDashboard' doesn't exist
I also ran
curl -L http://github.com/Wikia/app/tree/dev/extensions/wikia/AdminDashboard > project.tar.gz
to receive a .tar.gz file that 7-Zip fails to read the file giving the error:
Two remarks:
A GitHub repo would not work with svn command
the url does not exist.
A GitHub repo is best clone in its entirety, but you can do a sparse checkout as in this gist or this article:
New repository
mkdir <repo> && cd <repo>
git init
git remote add –f <name> <url>
git config core.sparsecheckout true
echo some/dir/ >> .git/info/sparse-checkout
echo another/sub/tree >> .git/info/sparse-checkout
git pull <remote> <branch>
Existing repository
git config core.sparsecheckout true
echo some/dir/ >> .git/info/sparse-checkout
echo another/sub/tree >> .git/info/sparse-checkout
git read-tree -mu HEAD
If you later decide to change which directories you would like checked out,
simply edit the sparse-checkout file and run git read-tree again as above.
i am getting error sh.exe: notepad: command not found please short out my problem
Thanks
For the commit to GitHub part, you need to add (if you have created an empty yourRepo on GitHub):
git config user.name yourGitHubUsername
git config user.email yourGitHubEmail
git add .
git commit -m "First commit"
git remote add origin https://yourAccount#github.com/yourAccount/yourRepo
git push -u origin master
If that fails because GitHub already created one commit when you initialized your "empty" repo (it can add by default a README.md and a .gitignore), do a:
git pull --rebase origin master
git push -u origin master
If you really have to call notepad from a mingw session, you can use this wrapper:
#!/bin/sh
'C:/Program Files (x86)/Notepad++/notepad++.exe' -multiInst -notabbar \
-nosession -noPlugin "$(cygpath -w "$*")"
But remember you can use msysgit from a DOS session as well.
Seps:
1.git init
2. git status
3. git add .
4. git commit -a
5. git status
I wrote a script to auto-backup a website and this script will push resources to github. I wrote some code in crontab to let it auto-execution. However, I don't know why resources can't be pushed.
I can see the heads from .git that it has been modified (which means commit successfully). I guess the problem is that the incorrect use of username.
The information below is the output of auto-backup script.
Committer: root <root#xxxx.(none)>
Your name and email address were configured automatically based
on your username and hostname. Please check that they are accurate.
You can suppress this message by setting them explicitly:
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email you#example.com
After doing this, you may fix the identity used for this commit with:
git commit --amend --reset-author
1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-)
How can I deal with it?
The command in crontab:
*/2 * * * * root /var/backWiki.sh >/home/xxx/Tmp/4.txt
Here is the main part of this shell script:
git pull originTyl master
git add -A
echo '2'
git commit -a -m $nowtime
echo '1'
git push originTyl master
echo '3'
origninTyl means:
`[remote "originTyl"]`
`url = https://accoutName:password#github.com/xxxx/xxxx.git`
`fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/originTyl/*`
You should first test that script under your own account, where git config user.name and user.email must be set properly.
Then you should register your script top cron, making sure it is executed as you, not as root, each user having his/her own crontab.
Run cron jobs as a different user:
su - <user> -c <command or script>
The OP Yulong Tian confirms in the comments:
I have solved my problem by changing the user (not root as before) in crontab.
