Before going to run any git operations we have to do some configurations on your local system.

It is used to set configuration values on global or local project levels.

👉 Global: For all projects on your local system.

👉 Local: For all projects on a directory

So let’s do it.

Open the terminal and run the following commands.

If you want to configure git globally follow below instuction:

# Set the User name
git config --global user.name "<name>"

# Set the email-ID
git config --global user.email "<Git-Hub email-Id>"

# To list all the configurations
git config --list

If you want to configure git locally follow below instuction:

# Set the User name
git config --local user.name "<name>"

# Set the email-ID
git config --local user.email "<Git-Hub email-Id>"

# To list all the configurations
git config --list

We are now ready to use Git.
