Hi,

for Git the field “user” represents the committer or the author of the commit?

The `RepositoryUserName` property is the username of the committer. This can be changed to be the Author using the “Use author name” checkbox on the Options tab of the [Git Repository](https://wiki.finalbuilder.com/display/continua/Git).

The `User` property is the Continua CI user mapped to this username via [Repository User Mappings](https://wiki.finalbuilder.com/display/continua/Repository+User+Mappings)
