Configure Git User

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

Verify Current Configuration

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

Configure Global Identity

Replace the values below with your own information.

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

Verify Configuration

git config --global --list | grep user

Expected output:

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

Repository Specific Configuration

Override the global identity for a single repository.

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.

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

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

Verify all configuration

git config --list --show-origin
