Reset git settings

Question

When I try downloading this git repo I keep getting error: RPC failed; result=56, HTTP code = 200 and I think this is because I messed up some settings (i was playing about with --config and --bare today)

Is there a way how I can reset my git configuration to the factory settings?

If it helps I am on a Mac.

Nothing to do with you or any settings you have changed. Using `--bare` has nothing to do with any settings, and using `--config` only affects the repository you're working in unless you've also used `--global`. — user229044, Mar 08 '15 at 14:24
Then, as I answered, delete `~/.gitconfig`. However, this will not change anything, you still will not be able to clone that repository. — user229044, Mar 08 '15 at 14:27

Git settings are stored in ~/.gitconfig. Just delete that file.

You could also just open the file and only delete the things you don't need. – AlexH Sep 04 '19 at 22:30

@AlexH That wasn't the question. "How to reset to factory settings". – user229044 Sep 05 '19 at 02:39
