Cannot create bridge "user.name not configured" #480
Description
I tried building from source because I wanted to see the changes from #372 (building 86faedc), but when I then try to create a remote bridge through git bug bridge configure I get this error regardless of the fact that the user.name is set in my .gitconfig (it also worked in the latest release just now).
Error: user name is not configured in git yet. Please use `git config --global user.name "John Doe"`
Also get it if I do the manual bridge config command.
Edit: It works if I configure user.name and user.email locally in the repo.

strace output shows that the last thing it's trying to access before failing is
.git/configin the project directory.. oddxloem commentedon Oct 30, 2020
right; it is checking the repository-local username in .git/config, but the error message says to set the global one, so following the instructions doesn't resolve the issue.
