git remote.branch.receivepack= git receive-pack

Question

I need to remove this from my git config When I run

git config --list

I get

stufff
stufff
remote.live.receivepack=git receive-pack
more stuff

I need to remove this since that is not the name of my remote, if I delete that entry from the config so that I am not pulling from that remote. I would like to remove that entry from the config all together

You can edit the `.git/config` file directly and remove the offending entry. — jub0bs, Oct 05 '14 at 20:44
It doesn't appear in the config on the remote or the cloned remote on my local. I remember setting git config --global remote.live.receivepack = "git receive-pack". — Angelo, Oct 05 '14 at 20:47
Looks like unset is not affecting the entry it is still listed — Angelo, Oct 05 '14 at 20:50

git config --list will list results from up to 3 config files.

repo/.git/config - the repository config file  
~/.gitconfig - the global config file for your user  
/etc/gitconfig - the system config file for the machine you are on

Use '--unset' to delete a config entry. With no options, git config --unset operates on the repository config. Use '--global' to specify your user config, and '--system' to specify the system config.

For your specific instance

git config --global --unset remote.live.receivepack

git remote.branch.receivepack= git receive-pack
