git bash change username

Question

I am using git bash and its trying to use my Windows username to login with "git push origin Dev" but I want it to use a different name, my username on the remote. How can I change this? Thanks

Answer 1

Change the configuration of the origin remote. See the REMOTES section of the git-push(1) man page for details.

Answer 2

If I understood the situation, the following commands should set the information that you desire in for git configuration.

git config --global user.name "Your Name Comes Here"
git config --global user.email [email protected]

Answer 3

Instead, save your identity in a configuration file using the git config command. $ git config user.name "Jon Loeliger" $ git config user.email "[email protected]" You can also tell Git your name and email address using the GIT_AUTHOR_NAME and GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL environment variables. If set, these variables override all configuration settings.
