According to thegit documentation, wrapping quotes are not part of a config value:

Ifvalue needs to contain leading or trailing whitespace characters, it must be enclosed in double quotation marks (").

See the git CLI:

$ cat .git/config[user]        name ="Jane Doe"$ git config get user.nameJane Doe

However, GitPython preserves quotes:

>>>fromgit.configimportGitConfigParser>>>parser=GitConfigParser(".git/config")>>>username=parser.get_value("user","name")>>>print(username)"Jane Doe"
