maven-scm-provider-jgit
This scm provider implementation allows the usage of git with the release and scm plugin without having to install a nativ git client. This implementation uses username and password instead of a public/private keys to authenticate the requests to a remote repository like GitHub.

Committer / Author ____
The jgit provider per default uses the information of the “user” section in the .gitconfig. If you explicitly configure a user there, this user will be used as author and committer. If you don’t define a user in the .gitconfig, then the user passed as “username” with the maven execution is used. The email per default will be ‘username’@hostname. If you don’t like the hostname to be used as the domain. you can configure a default domain in the .gitconfig as follows:
git config --global maven-scm.maildomain mycomp.com
You can also enforce the usage of the “username” for the author and committer (omit the default in the .gitconfig):
git config --global maven-scm.forceUsername true
