title: Eclipse project-wide error: Warning: The environment variable HOME is not set. The following directory will be used to store the Git
body: <p>Started Eclipse and got this error. How do I fix it?</p>
  
  <pre><code>Warning: The environment variable HOME is not set. The following directory will be used to store the Git
  user global configuration and to define the default location to store repositories: 'C:\Documents and Settings\Wizard'. If this is
  not correct please set the HOME environment variable and restart Eclipse. Otherwise Git for Windows and
  EGit might behave differently since they see different configuration options.
  This warning can be switched off on the Team &gt; Git &gt; Confirmations and Warnings preference page.
