Config Parameters

At some point, we need to be able to identify users. Git recommends we add the global username and e-mail to our information. You may see prompts for this when you commit.

I will also set my default editor. I use the commands

git config --global user.name "john.oraw"
git config --global user.email john.oraw@atu.ie
git config --global core.editor “code --wait”

If you enter a command like commit without a message, Git will open Visual Studio Code (VSC) for you to type the message. The wait argument causes Git to wait for VSC to close and complete before committing.

The command 

git config --list

gives me a lot of configuration information and it should show these new parameters.
