How to change my Git username in terminal

1. In your terminal, navigate to the repo you want to make the changes in.
2. Execute git config --list to check current username & email in your local repo.
3. Change username & email as desired. Make it a global change or specific to the local repo:
   git config [--global] user.name "Full Name"
   git config [--global] user.email "email@address.com"
   
   Per repo basis you could also edit .git/config manually instead.
4. Done!
