The author.email, author.name, committer.email and committer.name settings are analogous to the GIT_AUTHOR_* and GIT_COMMITTER_* environment variables, but for the git config system. This allows them to be set separately for each repository. Git supports setting different authorship and committer information with environment variables. However, environment variables are set in the shell, so if different authorship and committer information is needed for different repositories an external tool is required. This adds support to git config for author.email, author.name, committer.email and committer.name settings so this information can be set per repository. Also, it generalizes the fmt_ident function so it can handle author vs committer identification. Signed-off-by: William Hubbs <williamh@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The `user.name` and `user.email` variables determine what ends
|
|
up in the `author` and `committer` field of commit
|
|
objects.
|
|
If you need the `author` or `committer` to be different, the
|
|
`author.name`, `author.email`, `committer.name` or
|
|
`committer.email` variables can be set.
|
|
Also, all of these can be overridden by the `GIT_AUTHOR_NAME`,
|
|
`GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL`, `GIT_COMMITTER_NAME`,
|
|
`GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL` and `EMAIL` environment variables.
|
|
See linkgit:git-commit-tree[1] for more information.
|
|
|
|
user.useConfigOnly::
|
|
Instruct Git to avoid trying to guess defaults for `user.email`
|
|
and `user.name`, and instead retrieve the values only from the
|
|
configuration. For example, if you have multiple email addresses
|
|
and would like to use a different one for each repository, then
|
|
with this configuration option set to `true` in the global config
|
|
along with a name, Git will prompt you to set up an email before
|
|
making new commits in a newly cloned repository.
|
|
Defaults to `false`.
|
|
|
|
user.signingKey::
|
|
If linkgit:git-tag[1] or linkgit:git-commit[1] is not selecting the
|
|
key you want it to automatically when creating a signed tag or
|
|
commit, you can override the default selection with this variable.
|
|
This option is passed unchanged to gpg's --local-user parameter,
|
|
so you may specify a key using any method that gpg supports.
