Couldn't you get git credentials from the user's .gitconfig?

See also yeoman/generator-generator#24

Maybe I'm not seeing the flow correctly.

The relevant line is the next bit:

https://github.com/holman/dotfiles/blob/master/script/bootstrap#L45

The bootstrap script populates the .gitconfig.

So, say I used your bootstrap script, but with my pre-existing dotfiles. I've got my GitHub username and email in my .gitconfig. Couldn't those values be read instead of populated?

Again, I could totally be misreading this.

[holman]

Sure. It's just not taking that into account at the moment. :)

[kevinSuttle]

Haha. Fair enough. :) Thanks Zach.
