I’m pretty sure this will be a basic question for a lot of people, but here goes:
I started going through the book “Pro Git”, and it says to start by setting my username and email using the following lines:
$ git config --global user.name "John Doe"
$ git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com
Where do I type these lines? I tried typing them into command prompt and the git GUI, but I’ve had no success. I’m using Windows 7.
I assuming you’ve probably installed the windows git from http://git-scm.com/download/win
With the very defaults that won’t put git on your command prompt.
Use ‘git bash’ either through the start menu or right clicking in the folder.
