Chapter 1.2.2 - Configuring Git

To be able to use GitHub and Git on your machine, you have to create an account on GitHub.

Once you have your account set up, open up your Terminal application and tell Git your name and email:

git config --global user.name "Your Full Name"
git config --global user.email your_email@email.com

For example, Jon Doe, whose email is JonDoe@outlook.com would type:

git config --global user.name "Jon Doe"
git config --global user.email "JonDoe@outlook.com"
