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.
