Git Configuration Guide

These are just my basic git configurations.

Install Git

You probably already have Git installed. You can easily check with the following command in your terminal of choice.

git --version

If you find that you don’t have git, here is a guide on installing git on your platform of choice. Installing Git

Set Git Credentials

Run the following commands in your terminal of choice.

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

Ideally you would want to verify these with a GPG Key for added security but its generally not required.

Set Your Default Branch Name

This one is optional but I like to set my default branch name to ”dominant” because I think its funny and I can.

git config --global init.defaultBranch dominant
