Git user config

As a person who jumps from work to a personal git-based project I sometimes need to take eye on git user configuration.

Configuration scopes

Git have configuration in following scopes:

• system - default configuration which applied for all users/projects (e.g.: /etc/gitconfig).
• global - configuration which applied for all projects, saved at user home (e.g.: ~/.gitconfig).
• project - available for project only, saved in the project directory .git/config.

User config commands

Here few handy git commands related to user config.

command line	explanation
git config user.name	displays current user name
git config user.email	display current user email
git config user.name <user full name>	set given user name
git config user.email <email>	set given user email
