Git committer email address

The git committer email address is the email address associated with the commit author or committer in a Git repository.

In Git, each commit is associated with an author and a committer. The author is the person who wrote the code, and the committer is the person who pushed the changes to the repository.

The committer email address is typically set using the git config command. You can set the committer email address globally for all commits using the following command:

git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

Alternatively, you can set the committer email address for a specific repository using the following command:

git config --local user.email "[email protected]"

The --global option sets the committer email address globally for all Git repositories on your system, while the --local option sets the committer email address for a specific repository.

You can also set the committer email address when committing changes using the -m or -a options with the git commit command. For example:

git commit -m "Commit message" -a "[email protected]"

This will set the committer email address to [email protected] for the current commit.

Note that the committer email address is stored in the commit object in the Git repository, and can be viewed using the git log command:

git log -1 --pretty=format:"%ae"

This will display the email address of the committer for the most recent commit.
