How to config Git first time in the machine

I think you know what is Git & GitHub. Git serves a big role in any developer’s life. There is the first step of usage of Git and GitHub.

There are some basic steps which are given below:-

• Get a GitHub account.
• Download and install git.
• Set up git with your user name and email.

Open a terminal/shell and type:

$ git config --global user.name "Your name here"
$ git config --global user.email "your_email@example.com"

“Your name here” means which name you want to show in contributor.
“your_email@example.com” means which email is registered on GitHub.

Note:- (Don’t type the $; that just indicates that you’re doing this at the command line.)

• This will enable colored output in the terminal

$ git config --global color.ui true
