Configures user information for git.
|
|
|
|
- Use `git config user.email <email>` to set the user's email for the current repository.
|
|
- Use `git config user.name <name>` to set the user's name for the current repository.
|
|
- You can use the `--global` flag to configure global user information.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git config [--global] user.email <email>
|
|
git config [--global] user.name <name>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git config user.email "cool.duck@qua.ck"
|
|
git config user.name "Duck Quackers"
|
|
# Configures user for current repository
|
|
|
|
git config --global user.email "cool.duck@qua.ck"
|
|
git config --global user.name "Duck Quackers"
|
|
# Configures global git user
|
