whoami {whoami} | R Documentation |
whoami()
For the username it tries the 'LOGNAME', 'USER', 'LNAME' and 'USERNAME' environment variables first. If these are all unset, or set to an empty string, then it tries running 'id' on Unix-like systems and 'whoami' on Windows.
For the full name of the user, it queries the system services and also tries the user's global git configuration. On Windows, it tries finding the global git configuration in ‘Sys.getenv("USERPROFILE")' if it doesn’t find it in 'Sys.getenv("HOME")' (often "Documents").
For the email address it uses the user's global git configuration. It tries finding the global git configuration in 'Sys.getenv("USERPROFILE")' if it doesn't find it in 'Sys.getenv("HOME")'.
For the GitHub username it uses the 'GITHUB_USERNAME' environment variable then it tries searching on GitHub for the user's email address.
