Change Git user in IntelliJ IDEA
My IntelliJ IDEA was used by another user and when I try to push to Git, I was asked a password of this user.
How can I change user in my IDEA? I tried to change global Git user, but it is not working.
-
Go to the base directory of your project.
-
You will find a hidden directory called ".git". Enter into it.
-
There you will see a file called "config". Add the below code.
[user] name = username email = [email protected]
You can change it global via any of the 2 options.
- "Git Bash" which comes with the git installation package.
- In IntelliJ View > Tool Windows > Terminal (Alt + F12).
Use command :
git config --global user.name "John Doe"
I found a solution myself: just find hidden .git file in your project root, open it, and change user.
Go to VCS -> Git -> Remotes
There you can edited your git remotes
by changing user in the URL https://user@serc-bitbucket.
In your next Push you'll be prompted to a dialog to enter your password, and in the next your credientials.
