First, we're going to configure Git using the command line.
Mac: press the space bar and the command key at the same time and type in "terminal."
Windows: launch the command prompt from the run window.
Type git at the $ prompt.
If you get a nice list of commands, you're good to go. If not, click here here and install as per the directions.
Type the following into your command line, filling in the sections for your username and email. These must correspond to the name and email you used to sign up for GitHub.
git config --global user.name "John Doe"
git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com
To check your set-up, use:
git config --list
You'll get something that looks like this:
user.name=Superstar Git User
user.email=gitsuperstar@gmail.com.
