-user.email::
- Your email address to be recorded in any newly created commits.
- Can be overridden by the `GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL`, `GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL`, and
- `EMAIL` environment variables. See linkgit:git-commit-tree[1].
-
-user.name::
- Your full name to be recorded in any newly created commits.
- Can be overridden by the `GIT_AUTHOR_NAME` and `GIT_COMMITTER_NAME`
- environment variables. See linkgit:git-commit-tree[1].
-
-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.
