GitConfig: bad config for shell command
git, git-alias, git-config
Solution
Backslash ("`\`") characters are read by git itself in your config. Just escape them again with a second backslash and it will work:
t = "!git log --decorate --oneline | egrep '^[0-9a-f]+ \\(tag: ' | sed -r 's/^.+tag: ([^ ]+)[,\\)].+$/\\1/g'"
Problem
I'm trying to set up an alias, as I have many. For some reason, this one does not work. Any idea? ``` [alias] t = "!git log --decorate --oneline | egrep '^[0-9a-f]+ \(tag: ' | sed -r 's/^.+tag: ([^ ]+)[,\)].+$/\1/g'" ``` Command works fine by itself: ``` $ git log --decorate --oneline | egrep '^[0-9a-f]+ \(tag: ' | sed -r 's/^.+tag: ([^ ]+)[,\)].+$/\1/g' 1.0.0 0.9.0 ... $ git t fatal: bad config file line 28 in /Users/alanschneider/.gitconfig ```
