How to delete a git configuration?

Question

Basically, I entered:

git config --global use.name "My name"

Notice I wrote "use.name" instead of "user.name." But now that field is there, so I was wondering how to delete it.

Answer 1

You can remove it by using the --unset option of git config:

git config --global --unset use.name

See the documentation for more details.

Answer 2

git config --global --unset use.name

or you can edit config by --edit

git config --global --edit
