Configuration

git init: Initialize a new Git repository in the current folder.

This sets up a .git directory that stores all version control data and enables Git to start tracking changes in your project.

Configure your Git identity.

git config --global user.name "<Name>"

git config --global user.email "<Email>"

Without --global, the configuration applies only to the current repository.

If you want to keep your email private, you can use GitHub's no-reply email (found in your GitHub email settings), e.g., [email protected].

git config --list: View your current Git configuration settings.

• --global - View global settings (saved in your machine).
• --edit - Open the configuration file in your default text editor for manual editing.
