git commit and user identity

I am following the official guide of GIT, and actually I am at 2.2.6 paragraph " Committing Your Changes" Previously, at section 1.5.1 "Identity" when asked to enter a command like

git config --global user.name "John Doe"

I missed the --global option because I don't need it. Now everytime I do a git commit, I obtain

$git commit

*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

  git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
  git config --global user.name "Your Name"

to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

but I do not want to enter a --global option, does exist another way?

If you just want to set it for that repository, run:

git config user.email "[email protected]"
git config user.name "Your Name"

Just type the same name that you have in your GitHub account, the same the same letters and character.
