Once you've managed to get Git up and running, the first thing you must do before you can use your fresh installation of
|
|
Git is to tell Git your name and email address. You only have to do this once; this is easily done with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git config --global user.name 'knut'
|
|
git config --global user.email 'knut@example.com'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The username can be anything, but it is important that the email is the same as the one you use on Codeberg.
|
|
This is because the email address will later be used to assign your commits to your account.
|
|
To verify that you've set up everything properly, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git config --global --list
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% admonition "tip" %}
|
|
|
|
If you don't want to include your email address with your commits, you can opt to specify `USERNAME@noreply.codeberg.org`
|
|
here instead, where USERNAME is your Codeberg username.
|
|
|
|
{% endadmonition %}
|
|
|
|
If you ever want to change your name or email address, simply run the corresponding command again.
|
|
You could also omit the `--global` flag to set a username and email address only for the Git repository you're
|
|
currently in.
