Hello, my short prompt in the console of my machine is
+---------------------------+
| net1@pc0:~$               |
+---------------------------+
I did

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git

but net1@pc0 of my machine is logged in the files .git/logs/HEAD, .git/logs/refs/heads/master and .git/logs/refs/heads/remotes/origin/**some**

How can change it to use my own email jcpiza@gmail.com instead of my machine?

My machine has not static public IP (IPv4), it uses DHCP's dynamic IP and unfortunately i can't receive directly e-mails through the mbox of my machine.

So, i have to use google's gmail instead of the mail of mbox of my machine.

 I loved the old Internet but i hate the new Internet services-based when
 Internet is controlled by companies and governments for that you can't do
 anything because it's controlled by them instead of by your.

RTFM!!!

Edit your .gitconfig file in your home directory, adding

[user]
        name  = J.C. Pizarro
        email = jcpiza@gmail.com

or, if you prefer to use CLI utils: $ git config --global user.email jcpiza@gmail.com
