I have a project hosted in Git stash. It is built using jenkins.
Now I made a typo while installing my Git locally.
Like @ab.com instead of @abc.com
After every build, jenkins sends email notifications and it picks up my incorrect email address from Git commit and tries to send it.
Even after I have changed the email address in my local Git, I still see jenkins sending the emails to the old incorrect address.
How can I fix this?
Locally set email-address (separately for each repository)
Open Git Bash.
Change the current working directory to the local repository in which you want to set your Git config email.
Set your email address with the following command:
git config user.email "your_email@abc.com"
- Confirm that you have set your email address correctly with the following command.
git config user.email
Globally set email-address (only used when nothing is set locally)
Open Git Bash.
Set your email address with the following command:
git config --global user.email "your_email@abc.com"
- Confirm that you have set your email address:
git config --global user.email
Or using environment variables
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL=your_email@abc.com
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL=your_email@abc.com
PD: Info from github official guide
According to the git documentation all you should have to do is re-run
$ git config --global user.name "John Doe"
$ git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com
Then just check to make sure the change took effect
$ git config --list

1.6 Getting Started - First-Time Git Setup
use
"git -c user.name="your name" -c user.email=youremail@email.com
commit --amend --reset-author"
Edit your email directly in the JENKINS_HOME/users/YOUR_NAME/config.xml
configuration file and restart the Jenkins server
To set your global username/email configuration:
- Open the command line.
Set your username:
git config --global user.name "FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME"
Set your email address:
git config --global user.email "MY_NAME@example.com"
To set repository-specific username/email configuration:
- From the command line, change into the repository directory.
Set your username:
git config user.name "FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME"
Set your email address:
git config user.email "MY_NAME@example.com"
Verify your configuration by displaying your configuration file:
cat .git/config
