If you are using GIT, I will suggest you to set username and e-mail so that you don’t need to set them every-time when you use GIT to do changes. In this article I will show you how you can set username and e-mail for editing data with in GIT.

Check Username And Email Set for GIT Login

To know the username and email you can use git command or open ~/.gitconfig file.

[email protected]

Using ~/.gitconfig file

Set Username And Email For Login

Syntax:

git config --global user.name "your user name"

git config --global user.email "Your e-mail"

Follow the below command to set username and email for login.
