For the username it tries theLOGNAME,USER,LNAME andUSERNAMEenvironment variables first. If these are all unset, or set to an emptystring, then it tries runningid on Unix-like systems andwhoami onWindows.

For the full name of the user, it queries the system services and alsotries the user’s global git configuration. On Windows, it tries findingthe global git configuration inSys.getenv("USERPROFILE") if itdoesn’t find it inSys.getenv("HOME") (often “Documents”).

For the email address it uses the user’s global git configuration. Ittries finding the global git configuration inSys.getenv("USERPROFILE") if it doesn’t find it inSys.getenv("HOME").

For the GitHub username it uses theGITHUB_USERNAME environmentvariable then it tries searching on GitHub for the user’s email address.
