[SOLVED] fatal: $HOME not set on POP OS

Issue

I am on POP OS which is based on ubuntu. trying to git commit but getting fatal: $HOME not set. I tried git config --global user.email "my email" but not setting the config. also tried with sudo still same error. i could not find any solution.

Solution

Try printing the content of $HOME

echo $HOME

if its empty you can just set it to your home directory by doing

For fish shell

set $HOME =  /home/{_user_name_}
