title: git init - bad numeric config value 'auto' for 'core.autocrlf' in
body: <p>Just started working with git 15 minutes ago and already trouble ... damn.</p>
  
  <p>Well, just as i wrote in the headline, im currently working with the git-scm book here: <a href="http://git-scm.com/book" rel="noreferrer">http://git-scm.com/book</a></p>
  
  <p><strong>In 2.1 - Getting a Git repository</strong>, it says:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>If you’re starting to track an existing project in Git, you need to go
    to the project’s directory and type</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <pre><code>$ git init
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thats exactly what im doing, but somehow, i get this error message here:</p>
  
  <pre><code>fatal: bad numeric config value 'auto' for 'core.autocrlf' in C:\Program Files 
  (x86)\Git(etc/gitconfig: invalid unit
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I configured everything just as it says in the book ... im kinda helpless here, especially because i got absolutely no experience with git and google doesnt seem to be very helpful in that case. ._.</p>
  
  <p>Edit: Heres a screenshot, maybe it helps you:</p>
