Git cli: get user info from username

Question

Is there a way to get the name of the user, given only their username?

Something like this output git show (I know this doesn\'t work)<

Answer 1

Try this

git config user.name

git config command stores and gives all the information.

git config -l

This commands gives you all the required info that you want.

You can change the information using

git config --global user.name ""

Similarly you can change many info shown to you using -l option.
