Remainder: Configuring GIT

Posts tagged with ‘remainder’ will be the kind of post that have fast notes on solving/configuring/… something.

This one is about GIT configuration:

Configuring your name and e-mail

git config --global user.name "Your name"
git config --global user.email your@mail.com

Configuring colorized output

git config --global color.branch auto
git config --global color.diff auto
git config --global color.interactive auto
git config --global color.status auto
