At the root of your local folder you have a file named "config". Try to "vim .git/config"
The file will look something like that:
[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
fileMode = false
bare = false
logallrefupdates = true
ignorecase = true
precomposeunicode = true
[remote "origin"]
url = https://[email protected]/nanhekumar/myproject.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master`
[user]
name = Nanhe Kumar
email = [email protected]
A few options:
- Change the user name and email in this file
- Use "git config" command to change a global user for pushing to github or a local user for a specific folder project:
Local:
- git config --local user.name ""
- git config --local user.email "< your email>"
Global:
- git config --global user.name ""
- git config --global user.email "< your email>"
