Git needs to know who you are when you make code changes, hence start by defining those informations:
No Format |
---|
git config --global user.name "John B"
git config --global user.email "john@be-root.com"
|
Everyone loves fancy colors, so do yourself a favor and get colored text output when using Git:
No Format |
---|
git config --global color.ui "auto"
|

- IntelliJ IDEA supports Git out of the box (all editions), and
- the EGit project brings Git to Eclipse,
- the Spring Tool Suite includes Git, and
- NBGit will also please the NetBeans users.
...
Given that Git is extremely good at branching and merging, we recommend that you always start a new branch for each task that you start.
