I have tried to create a local directory and then initialize it (git init) as well as created one on my github account and then clone it using (git remote add origin remote_repository_url) but regardless of what I do, once I try to use any git command while in my local repo, I get the following error: I haven't used git for the past few months but I have never encountered an error like this before. How do I fix this? [Does this have anything to do with Mavericks?)

error: invalid key: pager.dif$ error: invalid key: alias.dif$ git: 'dif$' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

Did you mean this?

  • Could you simply clone the GitHub repo? – VonC May 09 '15 at 17:42
  • Did you previously edit some aliases here and there relating to pager.dif? something like this: http://oli.jp/2012/git-powerup/ (if you try on another computer is this issue reproducible with your cloned repo?) – matrixanomaly May 09 '15 at 18:06

Check this thread: List Git aliases to find out if you have defined some git-aliases.

If not, check if you have defined some aliases about dif in bash:

alias | grep dif

Then, to be more generally, check all aliases about git:

alias | grep git

Hope you will find something.

  • thank you @VonC and @ Shuai Liu. I tried the suggestions above but the error will not go away. Strangely enough, I am able to push locally added files to my github repo. – user2476665 May 10 '15 at 19:51
