For instance, as Thomas noted, having another system account will give your another set of global settings, and user's name and e-mail are usually defined on this level. But just as easily you could mess with these settings in your another system account and set them in a wrong way. So my take on this issue would be to instead write a self-controlling helper shell scipt which would simply print certain configuration information regarding valuable Git settings, and then create a Git alias to call that script. For instance, the script (let's pretent it's C:\devel\git-info.sh): #!/bin/sh git config --get user.name git config --get user.email basename $(pwd) git remote -v (the shebang line is not needed) and the alias to use it: C:\> git add --global alias.info "!C:\\devel\\git-info.sh" Then you would just develop a habit of running `git info` after `cd`-ingo into the work tree of a repository and check if what you're seeing matches what you intend to work on. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
