Git config account information
Oct 17, 2022
When we use git on a server first time, it will report the following error if we didn’t set the email and name:
*** Please tell me who you are.Rungit config --global user.email "you@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.fatal: empty ident name (for <username@servername.(none)>) not allowed
We can use git config --global user.email to set the email to the global scope, we can also omit the --global to set the email only for the current repository.
Unset the global config, we can use --unset option like this:
git config --global --unset user.emailThe config file
The git config settings were saved on file, the global config file is ~/.gitconfig , the repository config file is ./.git/config .
