Git Guide

Initial Setup

Set you github username:

bash

git config --global user.name "John Doe"

Set your github email:

bash

git config --global user.email "johndoe@email.com"

Fix Commit Author

If you have already committed and even after setting up the username and email you can't commit, run this from the local repo itself:

bash

# From within your repository
git commit --amend --reset-author
