Git config

Before we commit changes, we need to tell the git client the author’s information. This usually mean setting the user name and email by using git config. There are 3 levels of git configurations: local, global and system.

Config for current (local) git repo:

$ git config user.email mak@makzan.net
$ git config user.name "Thomas Mak"

Config git globally:

$ git config --global user.email mak@makzan.net
$ git config --global user.name "Thomas Mak"
