To make the git environment variables represent the same configuration as user.name and user.email, you need to set the following:

For the author information:

Bash

export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Value of user.name"

export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="Value of user.email"

For the committer information:

Bash

export GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="Value of user.name"

export GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="Value of user.email"

Explanation:

·       user.name and user.email from your Git configuration are used to record the author and committer of your commits.

·       The author is the original writer of the code.

·       The committer is the person who applied the commit. Often, the author and committer are the same.

Git uses environment variables as a way to override the configuration settings. By setting GIT_AUTHOR_NAME, GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL, GIT_COMMITTER_NAME, and GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL to the same values as your user.name and user.email configuration, you ensure that the commit metadata reflects the desired identity.

You can check your current user.name and user.email configuration using these commands:

Bash

git config user.name

git config user.email

Then, set the environment variables accordingly. Keep in mind that environment variables are typically set for the current shell session. If you want these settings to persist, you might need to add these export commands to your shell's configuration file (e.g., .bashrc, .zshrc).
