(interactive) (setq user-full-name "James Bond") (setq add-log-full-name "James Bond") (setq user-mail-address "007@mi6.co.uk") (setq add-log-mailing-address "007@mi6.co.uk") (message "Now changes are registered as JB")) But it did not help. Any idea how to change the user and email address for the commit message? I can commit explicitly from the command line as a new user, but that is a bit cumbersome. Regards Uwe Brauer -- I strongly condemn Putin's war of aggression against the Ukraine. I support to deliver weapons to Ukraine's military. I support the ban of Russia from SWIFT. I support the EU membership of the Ukraine.
