Making Sense of Git

Git course by Arne Bakkebø and Carl-Erik Kopseng 2016

Installation

Installation of Git on different systems:

Git have a global configuration file for all your projects, as well as one configuration file for each repository.

The global configuration file is usually stored as .gitconfig in your home folder, and can be edited with:

git config --global --edit

The repository config file is located in the repository .git folder at .git/config .

Here's a sensible starting global config file:

[user]
    name = Testy Tester
    email = testy.tester@makingwaves.com
[core]
    filemode = false

For a sensible command line interface, we recommend installing Cmder with git-for-windows.
