Git installation

Git local repository varables

This setup should provide a good framework

Git setup commit information

Write in terminal

git config --add user.name "Your Name"
git config --add user.email you@example.com

It is recommended to install notepad++, and use this as an commit message editor, so you won't have line ending mis-match in windows.

#Windows
git config --add core.editor "notepad++"
#Linux
git config --add core.editor "nano"
git config --add core.editor "gedit"
git config --add core.editor "vim"

#Optional, if you want to synchronize to your github account
git config --add github.user GIT_USER_NAME

relax_commit.txt

Write in "relax_commit.txt" from Format_commit_logs.

git config --add commit.template "relax_commit.txt"
git add relax_commit.txt
git commit

.gitignore

Consider placing a file .gitignore in the root of the repository.
It could contain this information

# Compiled source #
###################
*.com
*.class
*.dll
*.exe
*.o
*.so
*.pyc
*.py.swp

# Packages #
############
# it's better to unpack these files and commit the raw source
# git has its own built in compression methods
