Probably:

git config --global user.name "Reimar D?ffinger"
git config --global user.email "Reimar.Doeffinger at gmx.de"

or so. If you want different values for different repositories, I
think you drop the --global and issue the appropriate commands within
the repo of interest. Don't trust me though, read the man pages.
