Using Orion I201106171530 on orion.eclipse.org: 1. Create a new user account in Orion. 2. Clone an existing Git repo (I used my github repo: git@github.com:mamacdon/mamacdon.github.com.git ) 3. Make a change and commit. I see the author name/email as "admin (admin@localhost)". 4. Go to the profile page and change the Git name & email to something else. 5. Commit again -- the author is still "admin (admin@localhost)" You have to clone the repository again to make it use the new user info. I would like to be able to change the user for a repo that was already created. Also, it might make sense to prompt for Git user info when the first repository is created/cloned, since people are more likely to discover the Repos page before the Profile page.

I think we could ask the user to provide the name/email here, at first commit attempt, if they're not in the profile. > I see the author name/email as "admin (admin@localhost)". We should not fallback to these.
Workaround: In 4. open "Repository configuration" for the clone[1] and provide user.name and user.email of your choice. [1] Just click on the clone in Repositories page.

Commit again -- the author is still "admin (admin@localhost)" The name and mail in the profile are "Defaults used to configure clones". So changing them for existing clones does not make sense. > You have to clone the repository again to make it use the new user info. > I would like to be able to change the user for a repo that was already created. To change name/mail you should open the clone details in the repo view and modify user.name and user.mail properties as you would do in the console. > Also, it might make sense to prompt for Git user info when the first repository > is created/cloned, since people are more likely to discover the Repos page > before the Profile page. See bug Bug 350012.
Since you are able to change the clone user/mail, I'm marking this bug INVALID. I think there are two issues worth of fixing/discussing: 1) Setting the user/mail, if it is not set yet (bug 350012) 2) Setting the committer name/mail per commit (Bug 350422)
