Hi airtower-luna, thanks for your reply! By “can’t” I mean that when I hit delete on any of the letters, it just moves my typing position back like a left-arrow, without erasing any actual characters. I can replace characters by typing letters, but not delete them.

However, I took another look at your unset rec and figured out how to undo my git config mistakes!
For anyone who’s running into similar issues, I ended up inputting the following code in Terminal:

git config --global --unset-all url.git@github.com:.insteadof
git config --global --unset-all url.https:github.com/.insteadof
git config --global --unset-all url.git://.insteadof

So yeah, still not sure why I couldn’t delete characters in “git config --global --edit” directly, but at least I managed to unset them outside. Thanks again!

Is the editor that was started with the --edit option by any chance Vi? That one is known for its obscure keyboard commands, but you can find guides online. 😅

Nah, it’s just Terminal, weirdly. Deleting has worked everywhere else in Terminal except for in that “git config --global --edit” window 😕

Vi would usually run in the terminal (though GUI versions exist). It’s a very common default editor on Unix-ish systems, and if you’re using Windows I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Git Bash used it, too.

Ohh that would make sense then! I’m using mac but I just looked it up online and Vi seems to come preinstalled on most macOS.
