I've successfully installed Stable Diffusion (which I'll start a thread about once I know what I'm doing), but when I tried to re-open it today, I'm getting a slew of error messages regarding Git and Python. Without going into a lot of detail regarding all of them, could someone please tell me how I'm supposed to deal with the following message...

To add an exception for this directory, call:

git config --global --add safe.directory 'C:/stable diffusion/stable-diffusion-webui/repositories/stable-diffusion'

I don't have a clue where or how I'm supposed to input that command. (I'm running Win7.) When I research this online, the info I find just isn't quite basic enough. It's probably a very simple procedure... but it's all Greek to me!

Cliff, thanks for the response. I had actually tried that previously (as it seemed semi-obvious even to a newb like me ), and this is/was the result. What am I doing wrong? Is it because I'm starting off from the default opening of C:\Windows\system32 ? If so, what should it be?

Okay, I finally got it to work. (I'll mention how a bit later.) If nothing else, I'm persistent.

[EDIT] Oops, didn't see this until after I had posted.

Willie, that was indeed part of the issue. I'll elaborate after I have a byte to eat.
