H. GIT Configuration
We downloaded GIT as an administrator. So, first of all, we configure the GIT and tell who is the user.
Three types of Configure: Global, Local, and system.
-
local: local configs are only available for the current project and stored in .git/config in the project's directory.
-
global: Global configs are available for all projects for the current user and stored in ~/.gitconfig.
-
system: System configs are available for all the users/projects and stored in /etc/gitconfig.
Check your directory. If the GIT config file isn’t here, we need to configure that.
I. How to configure?
-
User Name:
Git config user.name “Saroth”
Git config --global user.name “Saroth”
Git config --system user.name “Saroth”
-
User Email
Git config user.email git@gmail.com
Git config --global user.email git@gmail.com
Git config --system user.email git@gmail.com
-
Default Editor
Git config core.editor “code --wait”
Git config --global core.editor “code --wait”
Git config --system core.editor “code --wait”
In later chapters, we will discuss GIT components.
I hope this is useful.
