Hi,

I am trying to retrieve user name from StoredConfig using

StoredConfig storedConfig = repository.getConfig();
String userName = storedConfig.getString("user", "null", "name"); //returns null

when i debug the object, I see the value under baseConfig.

storedConfig
  state
  baseconfig
     state
       value
         entryList
            user.name = "value"

I tried storedConfig.getSubSections("user") but returns no results.

Is there any other way to retrieve user.name from storedConfig?

Use

String userName = storedConfig.getString("user", null, "name");

(No quotes around null.)

Or, if you want to also honor environment variables GIT_AUTHOR_NAME and GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL

UserConfig config = storedConfig.get(UserConfig.KEY);
String author = config.getAuthorName();
String authorEmail = config.getAuthorEmail()
