| user.name:: |
| user.email:: |
| author.name:: |
| author.email:: |
| committer.name:: |
| committer.email:: |
| The `user.name` and `user.email` variables determine what ends |
| up in the `author` and `committer` field of commit |
| objects. |
| If you need the `author` or `committer` to be different, the |
| `author.name`, `author.email`, `committer.name` or |
| `committer.email` variables can be set. |
| Also, all of these can be overridden by the `GIT_AUTHOR_NAME`, |
| `GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL`, `GIT_COMMITTER_NAME`, |
| `GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL` and `EMAIL` environment variables. |
| See linkgit:git-commit-tree[1] for more information. |
| |
| user.useConfigOnly:: |
| Instruct Git to avoid trying to guess defaults for `user.email` |
| and `user.name`, and instead retrieve the values only from the |
| configuration. For example, if you have multiple email addresses |
| and would like to use a different one for each repository, then |
| with this configuration option set to `true` in the global config |
| along with a name, Git will prompt you to set up an email before |
| making new commits in a newly cloned repository. |
| Defaults to `false`. |
| |
| user.signingKey:: |
| If linkgit:git-tag[1] or linkgit:git-commit[1] is not selecting the |
| key you want it to automatically when creating a signed tag or |
| commit, you can override the default selection with this variable. |
| This option is passed unchanged to gpg's --local-user parameter, |
| so you may specify a key using any method that gpg supports. |
