in visual code terminal, I am trying to create user account with the command git config --global user.name "Tari shah", but I am keep getting the error
error: could not lock config file C:/WINDOWS/system32/config/systemprofile/.gitconfig: Permission denied".
please let me know how to resolve this issue.
That looks like VSCode was launch with the System account or Administrator account, but not your own Windows account.
Try the same command in a regular CMD session, opened regularely (not as admin): it should write in %USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig.
You can see that with (using Git 2.27):
git config -l --show-origin --show-scope
So try and re-launch your VSCode from your Windows account.
