================= Git: Crash course

How git is controlled

General config file

~/.gitconfig : Usually holds your name and email address

[user]
	email = thisisf@ke.com
	name = Michele Mattioni

And different customizations, like alias:

[alias]
	st = status
	ci = commit
	co = checkout

git co == git checkout (saving 6 chrs) git ci == git commit (saving 4 chrs) git st == git status (saving 4 chrs)

Project based config files

• repo/.gitconfig --> Holds the structure of the repo and branches
• repo/.gitignore --> Ignore file which you don't wont to add to the project (*.pyc, *.class, ..)
