# Configure Git User

This recipe configures the Git author identity used when creating commits.

## Verify Current Configuration

```bash
git config --global --get user.name
git config --global --get user.email
```

## Configure Global Identity

Replace the values below with your own information.

```bash
git config --global user.name "Jota Odiceu"
git config --global user.email "jotaodiceu@odinetwork.com.br"
```

## Verify Configuration

```bash
git config --global --list | grep user
```

Expected output:

```text
user.name=Jota Odiceu
user.email=jotaodiceu@odinetwork.com.br
```

## Repository Specific Configuration

Override the global identity for a single repository.

```bash
git config user.name "Another Name"
git config user.email "another@email.com"
```

## Troubleshooting

### Git still uses another email

Check where the value comes from.

```bash
git config --show-origin --get user.email
```

If the repository has a local configuration, it overrides the global one.

### Verify all configuration

```bash
git config --list --show-origin
```
