  3. Some initial setup • Need to setup ~/.gitconfig • Set things like email address and name • Can setup command aliases for more svn like commands Josh Nichols technicalpickles.com
  4. ~/.gitconf [user] [color quot;branchquot;] email = quot;josh@technicalpickles.comquot; current = yellow reverse name = quot;Josh Nicholsquot; local = yellow [alias] remote = green st = status [color quot;diffquot;] co = checkout meta = yellow bold ci = commit frag = magenta bold [color] old = red bold branch = auto new = green bold diff = auto [color quot;statusquot;] status = auto added = yellow changed = green untracked = cyan Josh Nichols technicalpickles.com
