How to change author for git commits?

Hi, is there a way to change the author which shows up when doing a commit in the Git integration in a MATLAB/Simulink Project?

To what kind of property of the host machine is it linked?

Thank you

Hi,

Yes, there is a way to change the author for commits in Git, including when working within a MATLAB/Simulink Project. The author information for a commit is determined by the ’user.name’ and ’user.email’ configuration settings in Git, not by any property of the host machine.

Here is how to change the author’s name and email address globally by using the following commands in your terminal or command prompt:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "[e-mail]"
