Configuring Git

Levels at which we can configure these settings

1. System — All users
2. Global — All repositories of the current user
3. Local — The current repository

Things we will cover will mainly for mac and llinux:

NOTE: change default branch to main

git config --global init.defaultBranch main

• Name(for both win/mac)

  • git config --global [user.name](<http://user.name>) “*~~Your Name~~*”

• Email(for both win/mac)

  • git config --global [user.email](<http://user.email>) “Your email”

• Default Editor

  • git config --global core.editor "code --wait"
  • You can open your settings for git in default editor using
  • git config --global -e

• Line Ending (Not crucial to teach)

  • git config --global core.autocrlf true //Windows
  • git config --global core.autocrlf input //Mac/Linux

• Now you can check your config settings:

  Terminal window git config --list

  This will show you all the settings that you have changed.
