Git User Config Cheat Sheet

Here is Mike Henke's Git User Config Cheatsheet for setting up a new computer with git.

• git config --global user.name "John Doe"


• git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com


• git config --global push.default "tracking"


• git config --global pack.threads "0"


• git config --global core.autocrlf false


• git config --global apply.whitespace nowarn


• git config --global color.ui "auto"


• git config --global core.excludesfile "C:\.gitignore"

Totally stolen from Mike Henke's post follow the link to give him some love.

This isn't exactly how I remember doing it but it will serve as a decent starting point for me when I have to setup my next computer.
