Subject: Can `git config` override entries in .gitconfig?
Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2008 07:05:46 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4950D41A.5050009@vt.edu> (raw)
Is there a direct way to change the user.email entry for a git
repository for one user (applied to all previous commits)?
I tried `git config --unset user.email` followed by `git config
user.email email2` but it just sets a second field called user.email
that shows up in `git config -l` as a duplicate. My ~/.gitconfig file
contains email1 for the user.email entry.
Also, when the repository is created can I specify a second set of
contact information (i.e. using a project specific email) which isn't a
part of ~/.gitconfig?
output of `git config -l`:
user.email=email1
..
..
user.email=email2
Regards,
Nick
