I accidentally deleted my GitConfig file and I’m getting this error.
fatal: bad config line 3 in file C:/Users/13472/.gitconfig

>Solution :

Please paste the contents of the file. It could be something as simple as spacing or line endings (the file should have \n or line feeds as the line endings). Every indent in the file should be a tab charcter – not spaces.
