Introduction to Git

Todo

Write an intro to Git.

24. Create a Git profile for yourself:

    git config --global user.name "<your full real name>"
    git config --global user.email <your email>
    git config --global core.editor vim
    git config --global push.default simple
    

24. Generate an SSH key on the virtual machine if you do not have one already. This will generate an identity for your account on this virtual machine that can later be granted privileges to the Git repository on GitHub. If you have an SSH key already, this command will recognize that and do nothing. Otherwise, press Enter three times when asked about the file location and passphrase:

    [ -e ~/.ssh/id_rsa ] || ssh-keygen
