I have a problem : git pull :"fatal: Invalid value for pull.rebase: input"

Question

when I use the command "git pull", A message is popped out

"fatal: Invalid value for pull.rebase: input"

how can I handle it?

Answer 1

The git pull.rebase configuration option can have several possible values, which determine how Git handles merging changes when you run git pull. Here are the possible values:

false: This is the default value. It means git pull will perform a merge to integrate the changes.

true: This means git pull will use rebase instead of merge.

preserve: This option means git pull will rebase but will try to preserve merge commits (a.k.a. rebase with --preserve-merges).

merges: Similar to preserve, but using --rebase-merges, which is a more modern and reliable method of preserving merges.

Your pull command currently has an input as value, but it should be replaced with one of the options mentioned above.

sample command 1: git config --local pull.ff true sample command 2: git config --local pull.ff preserve

Answer 2

fatal: Invalid value for pull.rebase: input This message mean somewhere in your git config files you have pull.rebase set to the value input, which is not a valid value for it to be set to. It's likely you want this to be set to preserve (now deprecated), or the newer merges

Try git config --list --show-origin --show-scope

Git typically has config:

• system level in /etc/gitconfig
• global level in /home/<username>/.gitconfig
• local level in .git/config of the repo you are in

Once you find the config which has the offending entry for pull.rebase, you can modify it directly in the file or with a command like:

git config --local pull.rebase merges

obviously with setting --local to global or system if needed

Answer 3

I think you have a configuration issue

https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#Documentation/git-config.txt-pullrebase

Check for git config for pull.rebase

This should be interactive not input
