Git configuration - User Settings [message #1816643]

I am configuring Eclipse for "git" .
In User Settings I am supposedly to add e-mail and name , but it already contains strange data.
Could somebody tell me what is it for ?
See attached file.
Thanks

Eclipse git (EGit) is a project separate from CDT
go here: https://www.eclipse.org/egit/
links to documentation and support are in the upper right

Internal data. Just click the "Add Entry..." button (not shown on your screenshot; on the right), enter "user.name" as key and "Helen Keller" as value; click OK. Repeat with key "user.email" and value your e-mail address, for instance h.keller@example.com.

The internal data should actually be stored somewhere else; that's JGit bug 551850.

BTW, why don't you attach screenshots as images? No need to post Word or PDF documents for screenshots, PNG files are fine and much easier to view.

Thomas,
thanks for the reply.
Nice to know about that.
I did add the other entries without any issues.
I just wish these "3rd party" additions to Eclipse included SOME documentation.
This is a second "plug-in" lacking any documentation and it should be in Eclipse "foundation" interests to require documentation before such plug-in becomes part of the Eclipse IDE.
It gives Eclipse "Swiss army knife" bad reputation. ( But they don't seem to care , pity)

As far as posting images - I keep a log/ notes in LibreOfficeWriter format and that is not accepted file format. Also posting multiple images becomes awkward.
I often wonder why web sites will not accommodate "copy from clipboard" , that woudl be so much simple then shuffling the files.
Many thanks for your support.
Cheers
Vaclav
