Git Configuration
The --global
option in the git config
command sets the configuration for all repositories on your system that are accessed by your user account. This is done by writing the configuration to the global ~/.gitconfig
file.
Set Configuration
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "youremail@yourdomain.com"
Unset Configuration
git config --global --unset user.name
git config --global --unset user.email
You can verify the changes with:
git config --global --list
This will display all the configuration settings stored in your global Git configuration file.
Remember, if you set the configuration without the --global
option, it applies only to the current repository. But with --global
, the configuration applies to all repositories accessed by your user account.
