git:username:update

Change username of git

$ git config --global user.name '${username}'

try on your machine

This command sets the global username for the Git version control system. The --global option indicates that the configuration is to be applied globally for all repositories on the system. The user.name key is used to specify the name of the user that will be associated with any commits made using Git. The ${username} variable is replaced with the actual username that you want to use for your Git commits.

For example, if you want to set the global username to 'John Doe', you would use the following command:

git config --global user.name 'John Doe'

Note that the quotes around the name are necessary if the name contains spaces. The configuration can be checked at any time by running the following command:

git config --global --list

This will display a list of all global Git configurations, including the user.name setting.
