Hmm I think it only occurs if you git clone the repo before adding the identity to your global config. If you clone the repository after having added your identity everything is fine.. /ksa > git fetch origin fatal: You don't exist. Go away! ~/.gitconfig: [user] name = sadflkj-sa email = info@dflkje.de The repo config is unchanged after cloning. The HEAD pointer is invalid. But this shouldn't matter Sincerly Marc Weber
