QUESTION
I am relatively new to the Ubuntu OS and Git.
I have installed Git on Ubuntu 20.04 by following the instruction mentioned in the following link
Getting Started Installing Git
As mention in the next step that there are three levels of Git Configuration
- System Level Configuration - which applies to every user and all their repositories on the system
- Global Level Configuration - which applies to the current user and all the their repositories on the system
- Local Level Configuration - which applies to the specific repository you are working with
I was able to change the global settings of the git by using the --global option, and also change the local setting of the git by using the --local option. But when I tried to change the setting of the git on system level using --system option, I encoutered the following error by the running the command git config --system user.name "My Name"
Error:
error: could not lock config file /etc/gitconfig: Permission denied

QUESTION
I am trying to see if git
is storing my credentials, especially the password, for both Windows and Ubuntu. I want to make sure my credentials will no longer be available in two particular systems.
I have looked into config
file inside the repository directory and didn't find any credentials.
I also looked into .gitconfig
file in both Windows (under C:\Users\$USER\
) and Ubuntu (under $HOME
). This file contained my username and email.
I am trying to find the location of '/etc/gitconfig' file mentioned in this link . However, I couldn't do so for both Windows and Ubuntu. For Windows, I checked the etc
folder inside installation folder and it had no gitconfig
. I also checked the config
file inside 'C:\ProgramData\Git', but it had no credentials stored in it. However, I discovered that Windows had a file called .github
next to .gitconfig
, which contained my username and password. Is this file equivalent or replacement for '/etc/gitconfig' ? Where can I see it's Ubuntu counterpart?
What files to delete or how can I make sure that no one will be able to use my git account in both Windows and Ubuntu?

Answered 2017-Jul-27 at 16:16This doesn't answer your original question, but it does answer the question in your second sentence "I want to make sure my credentials will no longer be available in two particular systems.". While after much searching you could be close to certain that your credentials were no longer on the machine, you couldn't be completely certain.
I suggest simply changing your password on github or any other service you want to protect. Then it doesn't matter what is left on the machine.
QUESTION
Given a branch and commit, I want to find the first tag that brought in the given commit.
I want to write a script that would do this.
I do not want to print all tags (which git log --tags --simplify-by-decoration
does) but only the tags that appear between the tip of branch and the commit. I can use the --merged
and --contains
options of git tag
command for that but it prints tag sorted by names. I need them sorted in the way they appear in the graph (so I can just do | tail -1
) and I cannot do that by sorting them by fieldnames as authordate
, committerdate
, creatordate
, taggerdate
.
To give more context, the script is the counterpart to this SO thread of git-find-merge
just that using merge commits to denote PRD code is an anti-pattern.
Update:
Below is the script I came up with eventually from torek's answer (github link: git-find-tag script).
~/bin/git-find-tag:
