-===Username===
+======Identity======
-The username which you need to provide is the one that you had registered at the Git Winch server.  //But please note:// Git Winch can be privately hosted too. So to check the server that particular Git Winch is connected to, open gitwinch.ini and check this entry:
+You can login using either of your identity: The //username// or the //email address// that you had registered.
-**//SystemAPIurl=//**
+To make things easy, we recommend that you login using your username. But if you had forgotten your username, you can also login using your email address. In that case, //Git Winch// will give a short message in the Log where you can read the username you had used.
-The value indicated after the equals-to sign will be the website. That would be the place where you have to register and get your username.
+**IMPORTANT**\\
+Treat your //username// like your password: You would need to reveal it only to Repository owners/managers who want to add you as member of that repository but //never// reveal it to all and sundry.  All public information about the content you make (e.g. Kanban cards/comments/file-notes and commits) would be attributed to your actual //full name// and not this username. Read about [[fullname?do=export_xhtml| full name here.]]
-If you do not have privately hosted Git Winch, follow the registration link at our main website: https://gitwinch.com
+Hence, do **NOT** Login when you are doing a screen-share of your computer. Others will may get to see your identity.
+----
+//**Please note:**// Git Winch can be privately hosted too. In order to check the coordination server that particular //Git Winch// is connected to, open the file //gitwinch.ini// in the application folder and check this entry:
+//**SystemAPIurl=**<url>//
+Extract the domain name from the value for the <url> indicated after the //equals-to sign.// That would be the website where you have to register.
+If you are not using a privately hosted //Git Winch//, follow the registration link at our main website: https://gitwinch.com You can easily get a free registration and we'll also give some free credits to get you started. (It is a pay-as-you-go system. Once the initial credits are consumed, you can purchase more as per your needs)
