From: Steffen Prohaska Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2007 22:05:50 +0000 (+0200) Subject: Improved hint on how to set identity X-Git-Tag: v1.5.3-rc5~11 X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=180787c48f21c40a047ae3ee5432821d7e033e44;p=git.git Improved hint on how to set identity The first thing we teach in the tutorial is to set the default identity in $HOME/.gitconfig using "git config --global". The suggestion in the error message should match the order, while hinting that per repository identity can later be configured differently.
