Debug git config used by gitui

[Abdillah]

Hello, I tried gitui but failed to commit due to this error.

00:03:22 [ERROR] commit error: git error:config value 'user.name' was not found; class=Config (7); code=NotFound (-3)

...although git commit is working fine. I have all config necessary to commit but on global level i.e. git config --local --list doesn't have "user.name". I want to debug this as end user and make sure this is the case, how to do that?

It's possible that because I use different config file location, the global config is not recognized by gitui (or libgit2?).

Not sure if this is what you mean but here you can see how we read the username from the config: https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui/blob/master/asyncgit/src/sync/commit.rs#L50

should be easy to build a simple repro of this in git2-rs or libgit2 against your custom setup.

sounds a lot like something libgit2 needs to implement
