Git: Change the email address git uses
$ git config --global user.email "your_new_email_address@tld.com"Check that the email address was changed:
$ git config --global user.email The option --global will write to ~/.gitconfig file rather than the configuration file of a single repository i.e. .git/config. To update the email address git uses for a single repository omit the option --global.
Also: check out the option --system in the man page of git-config i.e. $ man git-config.
Note that local overrides global which overrides system.
