How to delete multiple Git user.names

Question

Today is my first day trying to learn Ruby on Rails and Git using a Mac and I created multiple Git user.names by accident.

How can I delete the duplicates?

Note that I read through the different answers in the posts below and either I did not understand the answer (as I am too new to this) or those answers just did not work for me

More than one value for the key user.name Git

Delete username from a Git repository

Thanks so much for your help!

If it is not related to ruby or ruby-on-rails directly I would suggest to remove those tags — nishu

This is from one of the links you posted. Execute the following command in your terminal with the correct username you want to use

git config --global --replace-all user.name "username"

Thank you Vimsha - it worked! I guess I did not realize I was supposed to enter the new username in there.
