From: Doron Behar Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2018 10:10:19 GMT Subject: [BUG] git init doesn't respect `--template` like configuration variable init.templateDir and $GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR Message-ID: <20180214101019.gaenosifgq3wx2nm@NUC.localdomain> The title says it all. If I run `git init --template=~/path/to/my/template` I get the following message: warning: templates not found ~/path/to/my/template But, if I run: $ env GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR=~/path/to/my/template git init I don't get a warning and the template is used just fine. If I configure the configuration variable `init.templateDir` to `~/path/to/my/template` and run `git init` I don't get a warning and the template is used just fine.
