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
.

I do self-funded research and I'm writing a book.
> What's the book about?
About technologies and epistemology.
Meaning, technologies can foster agency. No doubt. But I am also asking:
Can technologies make us blind?
I posted a summary of the prologue on the homepage: https://yctct.com/
