  • VSCode Version: 1.40.0
  • Local OS Version: MacOS 10.15.1 Catalina
  • Remote OS Version: Docker Desktop 2.1.0.4
  • Remote Extension/Connection Type: Docker

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open any devcontainer
  2. git config -l will not show your local user git config, and /root/.gitconfig does not exist
  3. Or do a git commit and see that your username/email are not configured

Basically, my user's git configuration on MacOS is stored at $HOME/.config/git/config rather than at $HOME/.gitconfig, and it seems like the remote containers extension is not finding the config at that location. I'm using MacOS built-in git version 2.21.0 (Apple Git-122.2).
