I am getting this warning when I try to set my user name in Tower:
warning: user.name has multiple values
I have checked in a terminal window and found that I have three usernames:
macmini:HiBye shannoga$ git config --get-all user.name Shani shani shani How can I delete two of the user names?
Use git config -e and you should see something like:
[user] name = Shani name = shani name = shani Delete the lines you don't want.
git config --global --edit
git config --global --edit only gives me nothingness.This worked for me on my Mac:
git config --global --unset-all user.name The older answers above didn't work for me either anymore: in addition to editing the .gitconfig file directly, you can just run
git config --global --edit and make your changes there.
If you want to replace the wrong ones with the proper one:
git config --global --replace-all user.name "FName LName" same applies for user mail:
git config --global --replace-all user.mail "[email protected]" i had the same issue, i thought it had something to do with the ssh key, after removing both, nothing happened but this one worked for me:
git config --global --edit Note: with git1.8.1rc1 (December 2012), the logic is different;
"
git config --get" used to diagnose presence of multiple definitions of the same variable in the same configuration file as an error, but it now applies the "last one wins" rule used by the internal configuration logic.Strictly speaking, this may be an API regression but it is expected that nobody will notice it in practice.
The above answers didn't work for me. Edit the .gitconfig file in your home directory. This is your global configuration.
Go to the home directory:
cd ~ edit .gitconfig
[user] name = Your Name email = [email protected] If updating email address and password in your config file didn't help then probably you might be using this account with your machine for the first time. Generating and assosiating the pass phrase key with your account helps.
