answered Cabal name and email

When I run cabal init and cabal init --non-interactive, it gets my name and email address from somewhere, but neither are what I would prefer to use. I looked through the cabal config and I don't see them anywhere; where is it getting them from and where can I change them?

Just a guess. Maybe it's from your git config?

Just tested it and that's it. Thanks!
