Re: Git - Fatal Error

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim,

Haven't run into this personally, but it means it's having some trouble 
reading the configuration files (obviously.)  Very possibly an authority 
problem...

I did a quick Google search, and found this discussion that seems to concur:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38070483/git-fatal-unknown-error-occured-while-reading-the-configuration-files

You'll want to verify that the user's home directory exists, and the 
user has permissions to create a file in it.  Check for a .gitconfig 
file in the home directory, and if found, verify that they have 
authority to read and change it.

Good luck!
