Recipes
Configure the Commit Author
This command configures the current repository only (--local
is implied by default):
git config user.name "Ovidiu Feodorov"
git config user.email "ovidiu@feodorov.com"
The configuration propagates to .git/config [user] section.
The same effect can be achieved by setting GIT_AUTHOR_NAME and GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL environment variables.
To configure commit author information for all repositories the user interacts with, use --global
. If set on a specific repository, the repository-specific setting will take precedence. For more details on configuration hierarchy, see Git Configuration.
git config --global user.name "Ovidiu Feodorov"
git config --global user.email "ovidiu@feodorov.com"
Configure an Alias
git config --global alias.show-graph 'log --graph --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline'
Turn Off SSL Server Certificate Verification for a Specific Repository
The setting is controlled by http.sslVerify configuration element:
cd <repository-dir> git config http.sslVerify true|false
and ends up in modifying .git/config's [http] section as follows:
[http] sslVerify = true|false
The configuration setting is overridden by the GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY environment variable.
