Setting the global Git Username and Email

Posted: May 28th, 2010 | Author: mindtonic | Filed under: Git | No Comments »

This information is readily available from Github after you create a new repository, but I have been bouncing around a lot of different computers lately, so I needed a refresher course. Running these statements at the command line will set the global Username and Email for all of your repositories.

git config --global user.name "Jay Sanders"
git config --global user.email my-cool-email@spam.com
