   Thanks for letting us know! Out of the back of my head, no simpler solution comes to mind.

   Better workaround if anybody is interested.

   import git
   import os
   
   class GitConfig(git.Repo):
       def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
           #
           # Work around the GitPython issue #775
           # https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/issues/775
           #
           self.git_dir = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), ".git")
           git.Repo.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
   

   Usage:

   r = GitConfig().config_reader()
   print (r.get_value('user', 'name'))

   @andy-shev Thank you! Solution worked for me too.

   @Byron Are you open to PRs? It seems like this is mostly a matter of where to put the relevant code. If I figure out something logical, can I submit a PR and we discuss from there?
