Which command sets your Git user.email globally?

• A. git config --global user.email "you@email.com"
• B. git config user.email "you@email.com"
• C. git config --system user.email "you@email.com"
• D. git config --global --email "you@email.com"

Answer: (A)

Setting the Git user email globally means applying the same email to all repositories for the current user. The command uses the global scope, followed by the key and its value: git config --global user.email "you@example.com". This writes to the global configuration file (usually ~/.gitconfig), so every repository will use that email unless you override it in a specific repository with its own local setting. If you omit --global, the value would be stored only for the current repository (local scope), and --system would affect all users on the machine and typically require admin rights. You can verify the global value with git config --global --get user.email.
