fatal: bad config value for 'core.sharedrepository' in ./config

Question

I just entered the command:git config core.sharedrepository 1 and I am now receiving the error:

fatal: bad config value for 'core.sharedrepository' in ./config

Has anyone any idea how to fix it?

Answer 1

When you enter an invalid value for git config core.sharedRepository, it may fail continuously rather than let you update again with this command:

git core.sharedRepository group

In which case you will need to open up the .git/config file and alter the file manually, like so:

[core]
    ...
    sharedRepository = group
