how to reconfigure gitignore_global.txt

Due to a companywide account migration I do see an error while doing a git action like git checkout my/branch: '\\old\now\nonexistent\path\to\my\home\documents\\gitignore_global.txt': Permission denied

I would like to reconfigure git, where can I do this? I don't see any local configuration pointing to this directory..

To set the path to your global exclude file (or to set any other global option for that matter) use something like:

git config --global core.excludesfile "%USERPROFILE%\.gitignore"

(assuming you are on a Windows machine)
