    Configuring the Git Client

    The git client required developer information like Name and Email address. These details are used by the Git client to attach proper use information with git commits. Every git user must set these values once.

    Run the following commands from your account to save them globally to share between applications.

    git config --global user.name "Your Name" 
    git config --global user.email "[email protected]" 
    

    The above information is stored under ~/.gitconfig file. To view this information any time run the following command.

    git config --list 
    
    Output:
    user.name=Your Name [email protected]

      One suggestion would be that instead of extending the PATH, just link in the relevant binaries to /usr/local/bin.

      # ln -s /usr/src/git/bin /usr/local/bin

      Should do the trick nicely.

      Also, personal preference perhaps, but I used the /usr/local/git prefix when making.
