Git: How can I reset a config parameter after I have accidentally changed it?

Question

I was exploring the git config options using tab completion in bash, and without really thinking, I did this:

git config --global user.signingke         


        

Answer 1

Command

git config --global section.key value

does nothing more than editing file ~/.gitconfig with content like this:

[section]
key = value

So, you can simply edit this file and fix it.

Also, you can use command to remove offending setting:

git config --global --unset section.key
