Git config global file - remove settings
The following command.
$git config --global --list
gives me.
user.name=test user
user.name=gotqn
I'd like to remove my first name I referred to this article and have done the following commands but without any result.
git config --global --remove-section user.name='test user'
git config --global --remove-section user.name="test user"
git config --global --remove-section user.name=test user
git config --global --remove-section user.name
git config --global --remove-section test user
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and
git version
gives me
git version 1.7.9.5
Please, help on this, because i want to try to save my project using git, but do not want to exec the command with 'test user' name.

You can edit the ~/.gitconfig
file in your home folder. This is where all --global
settings are saved.
