How to unset GIT users

Purpose: to make sure that the clients can't pull other branches on their server

Proceed only after GIT is installed and the credentials are still saved

1. open git bash
2. run "git config --global --unset user.email" and "git config --global --unset user.name"
3. open cmd
4. run "cmdkey /delete:LegacyGeneric:target=git:https://github.com"
5. there should be an alert "CMDKEY: Credential deleted successfully."

there is a .bat file attached which still has to be modified to find the git directory which you want to unset. 

Attached files: Git Deployment.rar, unset git user.bat
