The terminal is configured by a command git config --global
user.email git config --global "[email protected]" git config --global user.name "xxx" git config --global credential.helper Store # git when the Push remember user names and passwords git config --global after push.default simple # from Git 2.0, default value push.default by 'matching' to 'simple'
These orders actually in operation .gitconfig file in the user directory, which reads as follows:
$ cat ~/.gitconfig
[user]
email = [email protected]
name = xxx
[credential]
helper = store
[push]
default = simple
In addition, if push.default this one is not configured, git push time will be prompted with the following information, you can see the difference between matching and simple way way:
warning: push.default is unset; its implicit value has changed in Git 2.0 from 'matching' to 'simple'. To squelch this message and maintain the traditional behavior, use: git config --global push.default matching To squelch this message and adopt the new behavior now, use: git config --global push.default simple When push.default is set to 'matching', git will push local branches to the remote branches that already exist with the same name. Since Git 2.0, Git defaults to the more conservative 'simple' behavior, which only pushes the current branch to the corresponding remote branch that 'git pull' uses to update the current branch. See 'git help config' and search for 'push.default' for further information. (the 'simple' mode was introduced in Git 1.7.11. Use the similar mode 'current' instead of 'simple' if you sometimes use older versions of Git)
