01 Configure Git

To use git, you must first setup the username and email, of the person making the changes.

• To configure git with your user, type the following commands in the terminal. Replace “John D” with your own name and email.

git config --global user.name "John Doe"
git config --global user.email [email protected]

• Note we are using the Global tag, to set this system wide. This can also be done pr. repository etc. But that’s out of scope for this workshop.
