Cannot find configuration file profileglobal

This error can happen when you also have Cygwin installed. This can cause an issue where BASH is looking in a non-Windows Home folder location for the global config file. If you used the default installation settings during the Git for Windows setup, your global config file should be in your Windows home directory (C:\users\username)

Try going into your System Properties (Right-Click My Computer on the desktop and click Properties)

Click the Advanced tab Click the Environment Variables button Under User variables, make sure there’s a variable called HOME with a value of %USERPROFILE% (if it’s not there, add it) Click OK Click OK Try relaunching Git BASH

Alternatively, you can specify an actual Starts In directory instead of using a variable like below:

For example, instead of %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%, you can specify C:\Git and Git Bash will always start in C:\Git when you launch the shortcut.
