Please never post images, copy and paste text from them instead. It's not always possible to display images (for instance, I'm reading my mail in a console application), and the text they render is not searcheable, and hence it does not get indexed by the Internet search engines when your message is archived. This means the next person with the same problem you have will not be able to search your post - and possible answers to it (which is clearly a disservice to the community - remember that this is not a paid support, and we're spending our time). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

This may simply mean that before running `git config` with the "--global" command-line option you have run it without one, and also without quoting your name -- like in, say $ git config user.name Yu Liu If yes, that command have set the config.name parameter in the configuration of your local Git repository (inside which you have run that command), and now this local setting overrides your global one, so setting `git config --global user.name ...` simply have no visible effect. "The trick" here is that Git have three levels where it stores its configuration: - system: that's the system-global stuff under /etc on POSIX systems or %ProgramFiles%\Git - on Windows. - global: that's the configuration global to a particular user, kept under their home directory. - local: exists in a particular Git repository. Each "more narrow" layer overrides the previous more wide one. If a particular setting exists in a local repository, it's used, otherwise the global config is consulted; failing that the system-wide config is searched for, and finally the default setting for a parameter is applied, if any. Observe: $ git config --get-all user.name Konstantin Khomoutov $ git config user.name Yu Liu $ git config --get-all user.name Konstantin Khomoutov Yu To solve the immediate problem you should remove the user.name parameter from the local config: $ git config --unset user.name Or you may be explicit: $ git config --unset --local user.name -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
