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 EditPad Lite, and use this as an commit message editor, so you won't have line ending mis-match in windows. Just save after writing the commmit message, and exit the program. The message is committed.
#Windows git config --add core.editor "EditPadLite7" #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
commit message
Added default relax commit message.
# To see the commit message git log # If you would like to replace the last commit info git commit --amend
.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
*.7z
*.dmg
*.gz
*.iso
*.rar
*.tar
*.zip
# Logs and databases #
######################
*.log
*.sql
*.sqlite
# OS generated files #
######################
.DS_Store*
ehthumbs.db
Thumbs.db
*~
Check in the file
git add .gitignore git commit
commit message
Added default git ignores
# To see the commit message git log # If you would like to replace the last commit info git commit --amend
