Git log out user from command line

Is there a command for logging out of git? I'm turning my computer over to somebody else and don't want the git to be attached to my account in the terminal.

Solution

  • Remove your SSH keys from ~/.ssh (or where you stored them).

    Remove your user settings:

    git config --global --unset user.name
git config --global --unset user.email
git config --global --unset credential.helper

    Or all your global settings:

    git config --global --unset-all

    For newer versions of Git: (from @devDeejay's comment)

    git config --global --unset credential.helper

    Maybe there's something else related to the credentials store, but I always used git over SSH.
