username

I want to change my account's user name on GitHub, but I can't find how to do it. Is this possible at all? To clarify, I'm not talking about the user.name parameter in a git repository, but the username of the actual GitHub account. Sapan Diwakar Yes, it's possible. But first read, "What happens when I change my username?" To change your username, click your profile picture in the top right corner, then click Settings . On the left side, click Account . Then click Change username . Yes, this is an old question. But it's misleading, as this was the first result in my search, and both the

I am writing a program in bash that needs to get the user's username. I have heard of a thing called whoami but I have no idea what it does or how to use it. What command do I use to get the current username? SethMMorton On the command line enter echo "$USER" or whoami To save these values to a variable, do myvariable=$(whoami) or myvariable=$USER OF course, you don't need to make a variable since that is what the $USER variable is for. alternative to whoami is id -u -n . id -u will return the user id (e.g. 0 for root). A hack the I've used on Solaris 9 and Linux and which works fine for both

On Windows 7 to retrieve the name of a logged on user I can do this: LPTSTR pUserName = NULL; DWORD dwcbSzUserName = 0; //'dwSessID' = user session ID if(WTSQuerySessionInformation(WTS_CURRENT_SERVER_HANDLE, dwSessID, WTSUserName, &pUserName, &dwcbSzUserName)) { //Got user name in 'pUserName' } if(pUserName) WTSFreeMemory(pUserName); But on Windows 8 it returns some abbreviated name, for instance, "john_000" when the actual user's name is "John A. Doe". So what is the way to retrieve the name of the logged on user (and possibly their email) on Windows 8 with C++ using WinAPIs as it's shown at

I have this class: public class CustomPasswordEncoder implements PasswordEncoder { @Autowired private JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate; @Inject private PasswordEncoder passwordEncoder; public String encode(CharSequence rawPassword) { String hashedPass; String userLogin; String encryptedPassword; sql = "select PasswordHash('?','?') from dual"; hashedPass = (String)getJdbcTemplate().queryForObject( sql, new Object[] { userLogin,rawPassword }, String.class); encryptedPassword = passwordEncoder.encode(hashedPass); return encryptedPassword; } } What I need to do is get the USERNAME from the form and have

I have forgotten my username and password of admin in MarkLogic 5. I tried to uninstall the software MarkLogic 5 and install that again. But every time it is asking for username and password when logging into the port 8001 after starting the server. Can you please help me in getting that? Getting past the admin password is supposed to be hard (or impossible), of course. You mentioned uninstalling MarkLogic; if you aren't worried about preserving data, you can uninstall MarkLogic and remove the data directory (/var/opt/MarkLogic on Linux), then when you reinstall you'll be prompted to enter a

My VB.net written application is being executed by an MSI file, and I need to get the currently logged on user (who is running the MSI). This is because I am importing xml files into the task scheduler and without the correct usersname, there is a mapping error. Currently, because the application is being run through the MSI or windows installer the System user is being used. This is causing a mapping error so I was wondering if there is any other way to find the logged on user.
