How can I delete git user property?

Question

I accidentally typed the following wrong git command.

git config --global user.mail example@example.com

and now I see an extra property when I type git config--list:

user.mail = "example@example.com"

How can i get rid of it?

Answer 1

git config --global --unset user.mail

From the man page

   --unset
       Remove the line matching the key from config file.
