Git Tip #1: Contributor ich123

If you fail to set your username and email from a new machine prior to pushing to your repo, you may find an odd contributor in your code base; “ich123.” If you’re like me, you’re pushing code from multiple machines.

Don’t forget to set your username and email on the new machine prior to pushing any new code.

$ git config --global user.name "<username>"

$ git config --global user.email "<email>"

$ git config --global credential.helper store
