From 180787c48f21c40a047ae3ee5432821d7e033e44 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steffen Prohaska Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2007 00:05:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
