git-config

I'm new to SmartGit. I can't commit through my repository, the message I'm receiving is: Unable to auto-detect email address (got 'Arreane@Arreane-PC.(none)') *** Please tell me who you are. Run git config --global user.email "you@example.com" git config --global user.name "Your Name" to set your account's default identity. Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository I'm using a different PC, but if I commit at home it commits and pushes perfectly, I don't know if this was the cause of the problem. I've searched around and others say to edit the .git/config file, but I cannot

gitconfig(1) : If not set explicitly with --file, there are four files where git config will search for configuration options: ... $(prefix) /etc/gitconfig System-wide configuration file. What is $(prefix) on $(prefix)/etc/gitconfig ? The prefix environment variable git was compiled with. Usually, it's empty, so the path is /etc/gitconfig . 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19713622/what-is-prefix-on-prefix-etc-gitconfig

I'm looking for a way to write the Signed-off-by: tag automatically when I commit. I tried configuring it through the .git/config file (Reference) . I put these lines of code: [alias] commit = commit -s This did not work. As commented below, you can not edit git's own alias (like commit). (Reference) I also tried using the command (Reference) : git config --global format.signoff true Also had no effect. This explains why. I'm looking for any solution that automatically places the tag and allows me to edit the commit message directly on git, without having to use a system alias. [Edit made

I recently made some changes to my remote repos in my Git repo config file. I renamed the remote names, changing my origin to another remote repo and renaming my old origin. For example, I had this previously: [remote "origin"] url = blah blah [remote "future"] url = blah blah I went in and changed them so they look like this: # formerly the origin [remote "old-origin"] # formerly the future repo [remote "origin'] But now, when I type git branch -a , I am seeing branches listed from the old 'future' remote: remotes/origin/HEAD remotes/origin/branch1 remotes/origin/branch2 remotes/future

I'm wondering how github can read in these values? I could see a use of this for deployments etc. if I can define my own, custom sections. Thanks GitHub cannot read those values. If some random company on the other side of the world could just willy-nilly read any arbitrary files on your computer, that would be truly scary. But of course any program you run on your computer can read those values. Including, for example, the hub command or the github command, which are two popular commandline clients for GitHub. 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4269732/how-does-github-section-of

Our company uses many customized opensource project. Whenever I contribute upstream branch I have change to use my personal email/name. Is there any way to have gitconfig per branch? For example what I want is [remote 'gerrit'] name = 'Personal Name' [branch 'origin'] name = 'Name in company' You can use post-checkout hook for this. Run $ touch .git/hooks/post-checkout $ chmod a+x .git/hooks/post-checkout Add contents to post-checkout script (edit names and branches as neccessary) #!/bin/bash # $3 "0" - checking out file. "1" - checking out branch. [[ "$3" == "0" ]] && exit 0 branch=$(git

I use and love Notepad++ ( http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ ) as my go to simple text editor. I have been using it as my default editor for git for a few weeks now and have noticed some funny behavior. Normally I run Notepad++ with the Tab Bar enabled like so However when I use Notepad++ as my git editor I would prefer it to open in the most basic mode possible (mainly no tabs, and in its own instance) I simply want a text editor to log my commit messages and such. The relevant section of my .gitconfig is setup as follows [core] autocrlf = true editor = "'C:/Program Files (x86)/Notepad++/notepad+
