Git Kata: Configuring git

1. Git Initial Configuration

1. git config --global user.name "John Doe"
2. git config --global user.email "[email protected]

For the vim scared:

• git config --global core.editor nano

For the windows peeps:

• git config --global core.editor notepad

or alternatively:

• git config --global core.editor "'C:/Program Files/Notepad++/notepad++.exe' -multiInst -notabbar -nosession -noPlugin"

Aliases

You can set up aliases as such:

• git config --global alias.lol 'log --oneline --graph --all'

This might be useful to you.

2. Downloading and Installing on Windows

• Download at https://git-scm.com/download/win
• Install using the pre-selected defaults
• Create a key for authenticating against ssh-enabled repositories: https://help.github.com/articles/generating-an-ssh-key
• or...
• open the Git Bash client you just installed and type:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"

This generates public/private keys in %USERPROFILE%/.ssh (named id_rsa.pub)

The public key can then be uploaded to your repo server: For GitHub this is a section in user settings. For BitBucket server this is SSH Keys under Manage Account
