Documentation/config/user.txt

   1 user.email::
   2         Your email address to be recorded in any newly created commits.
   3         Can be overridden by the `GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL`, `GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL`, and
   4         `EMAIL` environment variables.  See linkgit:git-commit-tree[1].
   5
   6 user.name::
   7         Your full name to be recorded in any newly created commits.
   8         Can be overridden by the `GIT_AUTHOR_NAME` and `GIT_COMMITTER_NAME`
   9         environment variables.  See linkgit:git-commit-tree[1].
  10
  11 user.useConfigOnly::
  12         Instruct Git to avoid trying to guess defaults for `user.email`
  13         and `user.name`, and instead retrieve the values only from the
  14         configuration. For example, if you have multiple email addresses
  15         and would like to use a different one for each repository, then
  16         with this configuration option set to `true` in the global config
  17         along with a name, Git will prompt you to set up an email before
  18         making new commits in a newly cloned repository.
  19         Defaults to `false`.
  20
  21 user.signingKey::
  22         If linkgit:git-tag[1] or linkgit:git-commit[1] is not selecting the
  23         key you want it to automatically when creating a signed tag or
  24         commit, you can override the default selection with this variable.
  25         This option is passed unchanged to gpg's --local-user parameter,
  26         so you may specify a key using any method that gpg supports.
