How do I open config file on Mac?

To open a CFG file on Mac using TextEdit, open the Finder app and locate the CFG file you're looking to open. If your Mac is configured to do so, double-click the file. It should open in TextEdit automatically. If it doesn't, right-click the file and select Open With > Other from the options menu.


The global Git configuration file is stored at $HOME/.gitconfig on all platforms.

However, you can simply open a terminal and execute git config, which will write the appropriate changes to this file. You shouldn't need to manually tweak .gitconfig, unless you particularly want to.


You don't need to find the file.

Only write this instruction on terminal:

git config --global --edit

I use this function which is saved in .bash_profile and it works a treat for me.

function show_hidden () {
        { defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles $1; killall -HUP Finder; }
}

How to use:

show_hidden true|false 

The solution to the problem is:

  1. Find the .gitconfig file

  2. [user] name = 1wQasdTeedFrsweXcs234saS56Scxs5423 email = [email protected] [credential] helper = osxkeychain [url ""] insteadOf = git:// [url "https://"] [url "https://"] insteadOf = git://

there would be a blank url="" replace it with url="https://"

[user]
    name = 1wQasdTeedFrsweXcs234saS56Scxs5423
    email = [email protected]
[credential]
    helper = osxkeychain
[url "https://"]
    insteadOf = git://
[url "https://"]
[url "https://"]
    insteadOf = git://

This will work :)
