.gitconfig. How to protect?

Question

If you see the file .gitconfig, it contains the username and email address. I want to protect him from the user, since he can always mask his identity, since he is still user-configurable.

Ex, In my company directory, my name is as follows Gerald, Anthony (last name, first name).

What people make a mistake here, some users indicate their name below

• Gerald
• G. Anthony
• GA
• Anthony
• Ageral
• and etc.

This creates confusion because it does not contain reliable information.

Let me know how you people manage user identities.

You can add a signed tag to the commit to provide some validation.

Answer 4

Protecting .gitconfig will not solve the problem, as the user can override these settings by setting GIT_AUTHOR_NAME and GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL.
