🧑‍💻 Configuring Git Username and Email (Local Identity)

Before making commits, you need to tell Git who you are. This is important so that your commits are properly labeled.

1. Set your Git username:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"

2. Set your Git email:

git config --global user.email "your_email@example.com"

3. Check your configuration:

git config --global --list

You should see something like:

user.name=Your Name
user.email=your_email@example.com

GitHub SSH Key 🔐

To connect your local Git environment to GitHub securely, you can use either HTTPS or SSH. SSH is often preferred for its security and ease once set up.

🔑 SSH Method (Recommended)

• Check for existing SSH keys

  Open your git terminal and run:

  ls -al ~/.ssh

  If you see files like id_rsa.pub, you already have an SSH key.

• Generate a new SSH key

  If is your first using git run this :

  ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"

  Also You can use a GitHub email address to keep your personal email private.

• Add the SSH key to the ssh-agent

  eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
  ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

• Add the SSH key to your GitHub account

  • Copy the key to your clipboard:

    cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

    Then copy the output.

  • Go to your GitHub profile and enter to :

    Settings > SSH and GPG Keys > New SSH Key .

    Paste the copied key, add a title, and save.

  • Test your SSH connection :

    ssh -T git@github.com

    If is successfully you should see a message like

    Hi your-username! You've successfully authenticated.

Congratulations you can use Git and Github as GOD
