Git Tutorial

Email address and name registration

Register your email address and name in Git as personal identification information. This is used as personal identification information when committing.

# Name setting
git config --global user.name "John Doe"

# Email address settings
git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com

This setting is saved in "~ / .gitconfig". Let's take a look at the contents with the cat command.

cat ~ / .gitconfig

This is the output sample.

[user]
        email = kimoto_yuki@example.com
        name = Yuki Kimoto
[core]
        editor = vi
