git config --global user.name "John Doe"

git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com

git config --global --edit 

# It will open git config file and you can make necessary changes

git config --global user.name "pseudo"

git config --global user.email "email@test.com"

git config --global user.password "password"

Add without making it global

​

//add username

git config -- user.name "your_username"

​

//add email

git config -- user.email "your_email_address@example.com"

​

//check configuration

git config --list

To track down the file holding each config option set on your own system:

  git config --list --show-origin

​

Generally, there are three configs:

  * git config puts stuff in <repo root>/.git/config by default

  * git config --global puts stuff in <user home>/.gitconfig

    * On Linux/macOS, this means ~/.gitconfig

    * On Windows, this means %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\.gitconfig

      (not %USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig; these are not always the same)

  * git config --system puts stuff in a global config file shared by all users

    * On Linux, it's /etc/gitconfig

    * On macOS, it's /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/etc/gitconfig

    * On Windows, it's <wherever you installed Git>/etc/gitconfig
