I found the cause. When I added 'github' to ~/.gitconfig a few months

If this line is in ~/.gitconfig for both 'origin' and 'github', git
cannot create .git/config entries.

Attached is my corrected  ~/.gitconfig file.  I now use only the 'url'
branch entries, which is all that is needed.

Is putting remotes in your ~/.gitconfig good practice? I certainly don't have any in mine.

The one for "origin" seems a particularly bad idea to me, although I don't claim that my git-fu is of the highest.


        pager = "less -x4 -E"

I experimented with this setting quite a bit before getting it the way I wanted. You might find this works better:

   pager = less -+$LESS -FRSX
