So I have updated my configurations in global Git config (they where incomplete before) and now I would like for PkgTemplate to read this information, as is suppose to, the issue is that when I do

```julia
t = Template()
t("MyPkg")

```

it spits out the error

```julia
Git: Git hosting service username is required, set one with keyword `user="<username>"`

```

I know that I could manually write the keyword in Template, but I don’t understand why its not readying the information in my global Git

Which for reference is

```julia
(base) Vicentes-MacBook-Pro-5:~ Veenty$ git config --list --show-origin
file:/usr/local/etc/gitconfig credential.helper=osxkeychain
file:/Users/Veenty/.gitconfig user.name=Veenty

```

Maybe `git config --global github.user <username>` should work.
