Setting Up Git Configurations

Manually

1. Set your username:

   git config --global user.name "kellydc"

2. Set your email:

   git config --global user.email "kelly.carinola@gmail.com"

3. Set your default text editor:

   git config --global core.editor "code"

4. Set up aliases (optional):

   git config --global alias.co checkout
   git config --global alias.br branch
   git config --global alias.ci commit
   git config --global alias.st status

5. View your configurations:

   git config --list

Using Dotfiles

1. Create a .gitconfig file in your home directory:

   touch ~/.gitconfig

2. Add your configurations to the .gitconfig file:

   [user]
       name = Your Name
       email = your.email@example.com
   [core]
       editor = your_editor
   [alias]
       co = checkout
       br = branch
       ci = commit
       st = status

3. Link your dotfiles repository (if you have one):

   ln -s /path/to/your/dotfiles/.gitconfig ~/.gitconfig

4. Verify your configurations:

   git config --list

5. Update local before you checkout a branch

   git fetch origin
   git checkout docs/Initial

6. Create a new branch:

   git checkout -b docs/Initial

7. Commit your changes:

   git commit -am "Add Git configurations"

8. Push your changes to the remote repository:

   git push origin docs/Initial

9. Create a pull request on GitHub:

   gh pr create --base main --head docs/Initial -f -r techmimer

10. Merge the pull request on GitHub:

    gh pr merge docs/Initial

11. Delete the branch locally:

    git branch -d docs/Initial

12. Delete the branch remotely:

    git push origin --delete docs/Initial

13. Update your local repository:

    git pull origin main

14. Delete the branch locally:

    git branch -d docs/Initial

15. Create a tag

    git tag -a v1.0 -m "Initial release"

16. Push the tag

    git push origin v1.0

By following these steps, you can set up your Git configurations either manually or by using dotfiles.
