I installed git a while ago before I installed Xcode because I wanted to 
have a look at the LyX sources and without having enough space for 
Xcode. I used brew or the macOS installer from 
https://git-scm.com/download/mac.

I'll check which method I used when I am back on the MacBook. I will 
then try to remove the LyX git clone I have and re-clone. If that 
doesn't help, will try to uninstall whichever version I installed before 
I installed Xcode.

The only other thing that I used git for is working in the cloud on 
files that I am using both on Windows and macOS. Maybe git recognized 
that the files where originally created on Windows and changed it's 
configuration automatically? But that seems unlikely.
