Delete username from a Git repository

Question

I am getting this warning when I try to set my user name in Tower:

warning: user.name has multiple values

I have checked in a terminal window and found that I have three usernames:

macmini:HiBye shannoga$ git config --get-all user.name Shani shani shani 

How can I delete two of the user names?

Answer 1

Use git config -e and you should see something like:

[user]     name = Shani     name = shani     name = shani 

Delete the lines you don't want.

Answer 2

This worked for me on my Mac:

git config --global --unset-all user.name
