<div class="blog__content">
<p>Before version 1.17, when Gitea needed to change the <a href="https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config">git configuration</a>, it modified the <code>$HOME/.gitconfig</code> file. For instance it would <a href="https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/release/v1.16/modules/git/git.go#L174-L177">set core.quotePath to false</a>:</p>
<pre data-lang="ini" style="background-color:#2b303b;color:#c0c5ce;" class="language-ini "><code class="language-ini" data-lang="ini"><span style="color:#b48ead;">[core]
</span><span> </span><span style="color:#bf616a;">quotePath </span><span>= </span><span style="color:#d08770;">false
</span></code></pre>
<p>When installing Gitea <a href="https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/install-with-docker/">from docker</a> or <a href="https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/install-with-docker-rootless/">rootless</a> or even <a href="https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/install-from-binary/">from binary</a> this <code>$HOME/.gitconfig</code> file belongs to a user that is <a href="https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/install-from-binary/#prepare-environment">dedicated to Gitea</a> and not used by anyone else.</p>
<p>However, if an Gitea installation was done differently and <code>$HOME/.gitconfig</code> has been customized because it is shared by a user or another application, there is a good chance that manual modifications were done such as:</p>
<pre data-lang="ini" style="background-color:#2b303b;color:#c0c5ce;" class="language-ini "><code class="language-ini" data-lang="ini"><span style="color:#b48ead;">[user]
</span><span> </span><span style="color:#bf616a;">name </span><span>= Jane Doe
</span><span> </span><span style="color:#bf616a;">email </span><span>= jane</span><span style="color:#b48ead;">@doe</span><span>.com
</span></code></pre>
<p>It is also possible that the file was modified manually by the Gitea admin for other reasons. In both there is a <strong>potential for breakage when upgrading to Gitea &gt;= 1.17 because the location of the file changed</strong>. It must be moved manually to the new location as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Figure out the directory where <code>$HOME/.gitconfig</code> must be moved by <a href="https://gna.org/blog/gentle-introduction-to-the-doctor/">running the doctor</a>:</li>
</ul>
<pre data-lang="shell" style="background-color:#2b303b;color:#c0c5ce;" class="language-shell "><code class="language-shell" data-lang="shell"><span>$ gitea --work-path /app/gitea -c /data/gitea/conf/app.ini doctor
</span><span>[1] Check paths and basic configuration
</span><span> - [I] Configuration File Path: &quot;/data/gitea/conf/app.ini&quot;
</span><span> - [I] Repository Root Path: &quot;/data/git/repositories&quot;
</span><span> - [I] Data Root Path: &quot;/data/gitea&quot;
</span><span> - [I] Custom File Root Path: &quot;/data/gitea&quot;
</span><span> - [I] Work directory: &quot;/app/gitea&quot;
</span><span> - [I] Log Root Path: &quot;/data/gitea/log&quot;
</span><span>OK
</span></code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Copy the <code>$HOME/.gitconfig</code> file to the <strong>Repository Root Path</strong> (which is <code>/data/git/repositories</code> in the example above).</li>
</ul>
<p>The reason why this breaking change was introduced is to workaround <a href="https://gna.org/blog/unsafe-repository-is-owned-by-someone-else/">a rare problem</a> impacting Gitea installations relying on networked volumes.</p>
