Problem Occurred Illegal char at index [message #1834900]

In Windows 10, when I try to establish a user (Team > GIT > Configuration), I get the following error:

Problem Occurred Illegal char at index 26:/Users/ldc/git_remote/.git:/Users/ldc/git/.git:

It looks like there might be an issue with the path. Any ideas on how to fix?

Thanks.

It's not clear where the path came from but ":" is the path separator for Linux while ";" is the path separator for Windows. So somewhere you're using the wrong path separator ':' and it's being interpreted as part of a file name rather than as separating two file names.

@Brett: you have an invalid git config file. I also don't understand why you have Linux paths on Windows 10. How did you create that repository?

Can you show the content of the git config file that contains these paths? (Would be either a file called ".gitconfig" in your home directory, or a file at .git/config in the repository.)
