Setting up GIT
GIT requires setting up profile name and email
Open up GIT bash and fire below commands to setup git
git config --global user.name "Tyson Gill" git config --global user.email "gill.tyson332@gmail.com" git config --global core.editor nano
Note : Instead of user name "Tyson Gill" enter you own name and instead of email id enter your own email id.
To increase the performance of your GIT bash you can execute below commands
git config --global core.preloadindex true git config --global core.fscache true git config --global gc.auto 256 set GIT_TRACE=true #below command should be handled with caution export PS1='$'
To verify the all the sets run the below command
git config --list
If you need any help with any git command you can fireup the “help” attribute of any command in git using -h or –help attribute, sample below
$ git add -h
