Git notes

Config
  * git config --global user.name <name>
  * git config --global user.email <email>
  * git config --global alias.<alias-name> <git-command> // Create a shortcut for a Git command.
  * git config --system core.editor <editor> // Define the text editor used by commands 
                                            // like git commit for all users on the current machine.
                                            // The <editor> argument should be the command that 
                                            // launches the desired editor (e.g., vi).
  * git config --global --edit // Open the global configuration file in a text editor for manual editing.
  
  Config stores :
    * <repo>/.git/config – Repository-specific settings.
    * ~/.gitconfig – User-specific settings. This is where options set with the --global flag are stored.
    * $(prefix)/etc/gitconfig – System-wide settings.
  
  Typical initial configuration : 
    # Tell Git who you are
    git config --global user.name "John Smith"
    git config --global user.email john@example.com
    
    # Select your favorite text editor
    git config --global core.editor vim
    
    # Add some SVN-like aliases
    git config --global alias.st status
    git config --global alias.co checkout
    git config --global alias.br branch
    git config --global alias.up rebase
    git config --global alias.ci commit
