read-git-user v2.1.0

read-git-user

Reads the Github username and email from .gitconfig :wrench: and returns it as a json object

Highlights

• Returns the original github-username since the stored git name can be altered and not reliable.
• Uses Ini to handle the parsing of the ini config file

Install

})();
