Changing the Git username

Question

I use Git GNU bash, version 4.3.42(5)-release (x86_64-pc-msys) windows 8.1 pro. I gave it a username at the very beginning by typing the command: git config --global user.n

Answer 1

Look at both the .gitconfig file in your home directory for global settings and also .git/config in a specific project for override values.

In Windows there may be some extra steps to view these files.

Answer 2

The suggestion made above was great, but i managed differently to solve the problem :

I went to the Git GUI, then Edit, Then options and there i've found different button to change the username. That was successful.
