Question: Is there a way to get the name of the user, given only their username?

Something like this output `git show <username>` (I know this doesn't work)

```
username: username
name: First Last
email: email@address

```

I know I can do this with a GitHub api call, but would prefer to keep it within the CLI.

Answer: 
```
git config user.name
git config user.email

```

I believe these are the commands you are looking for.

[Here is where I found them](http://alvinalexander.com/git/git-show-change-username-email-address)
`git config --list`   

 `git config -l`  

 will display your username and email together, along with other info
