How to set up Git

Now we need to do few things that will commit messages and upload files to git repository. The easiest way to do this is through git config commands.

$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
$ git config --global user.email "youremail@domain.com"

Now enter this command to see that username and email is saved or not:

$ git config --list

Following output will be displayed:

user.name=Your Name
user.email=youremail@domain.com

All done! Now you may add repository to git and upload files.
