First-Time Git Setup

Git comes with a tool called git config that lets you get and set configuration variables that control all aspects of how Git looks and operates.

The first thing you should do when you install Git is to set your user name and email address. This is important because every Git commit uses this information, and it’s immutably baked into the commits you start creating:

$ git config --global user.name "Sayem Ahmed"
$ git config --global user.email escrowbangla71@gmail.com
$ git config --list
