Any suggestions how to get current active GitHub user? Are you using gh tool?

[lobosan]

When using oh-my-zsh I use the avit theme, and display my git name by adding $(git config user.name) to the _user_host function
You can have a look at the whole theme here https://github.com/lobosan/zsh-theme/blob/main/avit.zsh-theme#LL16C1-L27C2
So, it would be great if you could add it to the spaceship configuration. In my case I'm installing it through fig, so it would be nice to see it under the git section

You are confusing git with github. It's not the same. Git is a VCS. GitHub is a hosting (website) for Git repos.

Yes, it's possible to display the result of git config user.name, though it's probably not the info you need to know when typing every other command. You probably need that once in a while, don't you?

[lobosan]

Yes, I meant github user. This info is important to me when I'm in a folder that is a github repo, not on every command.

[denysdovhan]

Again, git config user.name doesn't show your GitHub user. It shows you Git user.

[lobosan]

you right sorry for the confusion, but is it possible to show my git user when working on a project with git?

[denysdovhan]

Sure, you can do it yourselft. Here's a guide how to create a custom section: https://spaceship-prompt.sh/advanced/creating-section/#Typical-section-breakdown

You can create your custom git_user section. Istead of foobar --version you can run git config user.name.
