When running a UI, show a better error if the git configuration is deprecated #1474
Description
The documentation for git-config(1) says that the syntax is deprecated (I didn’t know):
There is also a deprecated
[section.subsection]syntax.
But the error wasn’t easy to understand. So in any case with:
[gpg.ssh]
allowedSignersFile=<file>
You get this:
$ git bug webui
Web UI: http://127.0.0.1:41935
Graphql API: http://127.0.0.1:41935/graphql
Graphql Playground: http://127.0.0.1:41935/playground
Press Ctrl+c to quit
Error: 198:5: illegal character U+002E '.'
Also with git bug termui
$ git bug termui
[press `s` to search]
Error: Unable to detect default git editor: 198:5: illegal character U+002E '.'
Not a big deal now that I know the solution (which is just to not use deprecated syntax). But maybe someone in the future will find this?
