cli args for user

[saiichihashimoto]

user.name & user.email cannot be set via the cli args, though they are options for the API. CLI args for these would be amazing!

Just added this in #229

Nice! Looking forward to the npm release!

Hi,
I have 2 git a/c for work and personal.
I have done set up my personal git in my personal code base in my work machine.. so when ever i push it uses my personal config ... but when I try to deploy on Github Pages it uses my global git config which is of my workplace..

anyone can help me on this

+1. Adding this feature would be helpful in CI's case, where you do need to provide user credentials on the CI server instead of your local global configured machine.

Honestly it should really just respect .gitconfig files (though CLI options would be splendid). See #235. I'd argue fixing that would be non-breaking and provide all the uses cases mentioned in these two issues.

Kind of a shame #229 is stalled, though, seemingly by misconfigured auto-formatting... 😭

Or if you are using Travis as your CI, Travis' deploy section would be helpful: https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/pages/ .

#264 exposes the user option to the CLI. The 2.0 release also changes the default user handling (looked up from CWD instead of package install dir). It may be that more needs to be done to support other git config, but this part is done.
