0:05 in order to get things up and running.
0:10 so just keep that in mind, you don't need to do this every time you start out Git.
0:14 Back in the terminal, we can now work with Git.
0:24 we are really just going to run four commands.
0:31 this is how it is going to identify us, who we are, this is our natural name.
0:43 not just for a single project.
0:45 So "git config --global user.name"
0:49 and I am just going to give it my normal human name, Matt Makai.
0:57 that means that everything went smoothly.
1:13 and then they need to get in contact with us.
1:22 who you should contact in case anything goes wrong.
1:25 So for this we are going to say "git config --global" again, "user"
1:29 and instead of name we are going to say "user.email".
1:32 And in my case, this is just matthew.makai@gmail.com.
1:37 Now again, no output is good, that means it's saved properly.
1:50 now by default, typically Nano is the editor that pops up, but I use Vim.
2:07 or you need to write some text that Git will interpret.
2:18 and in my case again, I am going to press specify "vim".
2:27 we can say "git config" and then just list out.
2:35 user.email is matthew.makai@gmail.com, and my core editor is Vim.
2:48 but you should go ahead and set user.name and user.email.
2:53 we're ready to get started and dive into using Git.
