  1. Handling either *.name or *.username in gitconfig 

    There might be a better way of handling this or even just switching to using `git config user.name` rather then `user.username` might help avoid trouble for users who have already setup git using official [git][1] or [github][2] documentation. Both of which seem to recommend `user.name` over `user.username`.  If there is some reason behind `user.username` being the better option, I'd love to learn more about the topic.
