Git Configuration with Username and Email

To start using Git from your computer, you must enter your credentials to identify yourself as the author of your work. The username and email address should match the ones you use in GitLab.

1. In your shell, add your user name:

   git config --global user.name "your_username"

2. Add your email address:

   git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

3. To check the configuration, run:

   git config --global --list

   The --global option tells Git to always use this information for anything you do on your system. If you omit --global or use --local, the configuration applies only to the current repository.
