As i understand, it because of client doesn't see it's files in server spring.cloud.config.server.git.uri or spring.cloud.config.server.native.search-locations or spring.cloud.config.server.native.searchLocations I tried different notations:
file:///C:/Users/u_m167y/Desktop/config
file:///C:/Users/u_m167y/Desktop/config/
file://C:/Users/u_m167y/Desktop/config
C:/Users/u_m167y/Desktop/config
C:\\\\Users\\\\u_m167y\\\\Desktop\\\\config\\\\
But nothing works. I have git repo in that dir with .git and a-bootiful-client.properties In client i have spring.application.name=a-bootiful-client What is wrong here?

On Windows, you need an extra "/" in the file URL if it is absolute with a drive prefix (for example,file:///${user.home}/config-repo)
Refer spring-cloud-config
EDIT :
The above link has following listing, whihc shows a recipe for creating the git repository in the preceding example:
$ cd $HOME
$ mkdir config-repo
$ cd config-repo
$ git init .
$ echo info.foo: bar > application.properties
$ git add -A .
$ git commit -m "Add application.properties"
