This also bumps the stable nixpkgs to 20.09 as of 2020-11-21, because there is some breakage in the git build related to the netrc credentials helper which someone has taken care of in nixpkgs. The stable channel is not used for anything other than git, so this should be fine. Change-Id: I3575a19dab09e1e9556cf8231d717de9890484fb

The `user.name` and `user.email` variables determine what ends
|
|
up in the `author` and `committer` field of commit
|
|
objects.
|
|
If you need the `author` or `committer` to be different, the
|
|
`author.name`, `author.email`, `committer.name` or
|
|
`committer.email` variables can be set.
|
|
Also, all of these can be overridden by the `GIT_AUTHOR_NAME`,
|
|
`GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL`, `GIT_COMMITTER_NAME`,
|
|
`GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL` and `EMAIL` environment variables.
|
|
+
|
|
Note that the `name` forms of these variables conventionally refer to
|
|
some form of a personal name. See linkgit:git-commit[1] and the
|
|
environment variables section of linkgit:git[1] for more information on
|
|
these settings and the `credential.username` option if you're looking
|
|
for authentication credentials instead.
|
|
|
|
user.useConfigOnly::
|
|
Instruct Git to avoid trying to guess defaults for `user.email`
|
|
and `user.name`, and instead retrieve the values only from the
|
|
configuration. For example, if you have multiple email addresses
|
|
and would like to use a different one for each repository, then
|
|
with this configuration option set to `true` in the global config
|
|
along with a name, Git will prompt you to set up an email before
|
|
making new commits in a newly cloned repository.
|
|
Defaults to `false`.
|
|
|
|
user.signingKey::
|
|
If linkgit:git-tag[1] or linkgit:git-commit[1] is not selecting the
|
|
key you want it to automatically when creating a signed tag or
|
|
commit, you can override the default selection with this variable.
|
|
This option is passed unchanged to gpg's --local-user parameter,
|
|
so you may specify a key using any method that gpg supports.
