Hi Jonathan, thanks for this hint. Now it is working on the base of environment variables.

In order of automatically setting up my projects I'd like to use the configuration file for preparing CVS-work instead introducing environment variables. Unfortunately, I'm facing another problem. Following commands don't modify .git/config coming along with my project(s). git config user.name="Rainer Lauer" git config user.email="Rainer.Lauer@gmx.net" git config core.editor="c:/Program Files/SlickEditV14.0.2/win/vs.exe" The file seems to stay in initial revision as created with the command git init.

Where is following information stored? Command:  git config --global user.name="Rainer Lauer". Did I get the documentation right that this is a definition for all projects?

Regards, Rainer

Apparently “Bad file number” can mean “Permission denied” among other things on Windows.  I do not have any better suggestion than to try running git bash as administrator too, sorry.
