Using Git

Using Git, not github

Do not follow these instructions until the Videos are released.

1. Git Config

Set up your git. This will be used for GitHub later.

2. Add your name and email to your git.

First lets check if you have a name and or email set up in Git.

git config --get user.name

git config --get user.email

3. Set your default branch

git config -global init.defaultBranchmaster

Check that it added by listing out your config. cat ~/.gitconfig

The ~ is a shortcut to your home directory. For example my full directory would be: /Users/rachael

Instead of typing ~ it would be this:

/Users/rachael/.gitconfig
