Username, full name, email address, GitHub username of the current user
For the username it tries the LOGNAME,
USER, LNAME and USERNAME
environment variables first. If these are all unset, or set to an empty
string, then it tries running id on Unix-like systems and
whoami on Windows.
For the full name of the user, it queries the system services and
also tries the user’s global git configuration. On Windows, it tries
finding the global git configuration in
Sys.getenv("USERPROFILE") if it doesn’t find it in
Sys.getenv("HOME") (often “Documents”).
For the email address it uses the user’s global git configuration. It
tries finding the global git configuration in
Sys.getenv("USERPROFILE") if it doesn’t find it in
Sys.getenv("HOME").
For the GitHub username it uses the GITHUB_USERNAME
environment variable then it tries searching on GitHub for the user’s
email address.
