Trouble setting up git with my GitHub Account error: could not lock config file

by

A bit like in “Trouble setting up Tower with my GitHub Account – error: could not lock config file“, check how that ~/.gitconfig file has been created.
Ie: with which rights associated to it?

Make also sure your $HOME variable is correctly set when you are executing the git config --global command.
