Git config username and email

To set your username and email in Git, you can use the following commands:

Set your username:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"

Replace "Your Name" with your actual name.

Set your email:

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

Replace "[email protected]" with your actual email address.

The --global flag tells Git to store the configuration in your system-wide Git configuration file, which is usually located at ~/.gitconfig on Unix-based systems or C:\Users\YourUsername\.gitconfig on Windows.

If you want to set the username and email for a specific repository only, you can omit the --global flag and use the following commands:

git config user.name "Your Name"
git config user.email "[email protected]"

These settings will be stored in the .git/config file in the root directory of your repository.

Note that you only need to set your username and email once, as Git will remember them for future use.
