Setting Up Git User Identity
To set up your Git user identity, you can use the following Git commands:
Configuring Username
To set your username, use the following command:
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
Replace "Your Name" with your desired username.
Configuring Email Address
To set your email address, use the following command:
git config --global user.email "your.email@example.com"
Replace "your.email@example.com" with your email address.
Verifying Configuration
After setting your username and email address, you can verify the configuration by running the following commands:
git config --global user.name
git config --global user.email
These commands will display the configured username and email address, respectively.
Alternatively, you can view all the Git configuration settings by running:
git config --list
This will show you all the configured settings, including the user.name and user.email values.
By setting up your Git user identity, you ensure that your commits are properly attributed and that the project history remains accurate and meaningful.
