Is there a way to configure my identity from inside Git-Gui, instead of Git-CMD?


Is there a way to configure my identity from inside Git-Gui, instead of having to go through Git-CMD?

I know how to do it through CMD, as it literally tells you. I'm just wondering if I need to use the CMD.

When I tried to merge something with the GUI for the first time, it's asking me to run:

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

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


Solution

  • Yes, at least on version 0.21 you can do it by opening a git repository folder then going to Edit->Option, then edit your user name and email address in the GUI.
