On my Neon.3 system, after running the Eclipse updates, I had the following error on the Git Repositories perspective.

java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Illegal char <"> at index 0: \.gitconfig

I deleted the .metadata folder in the workspace folder cleared the above error but I am not unable to add in the existing local Git repositories or clone an existing Git repository. Uninstalling and reinstalling Eclipse does not correct the issue.

The repositories are seen in the wizard but are not added to the perspective when finished is clicked.

I have another machine that is still running Neon.2 and it is able to view and add Git repositories as can my older Kepler machine.

Please attach whatever is in that .pdf file directly. And you might want to look at the contents of ~/.gitconfig, which would seem to be what it's complaining about, and see if anything looks amiss.

I searched for the .gitconfig on the affected machine and the file is not present any where in the file structure.

Is there a process for recreating the .gitconfig file?

[EDIT]
I tried copying the .gitconfig from a machine that has the file over to the affected machine. It looks like Eclipse is having difficulty parsing the .gitconfig file path. It seems to be complaining about the double quotation mark (") in the file path
