    Setup git for the first time


git config --global user.name "your name" 
git config --global user.email "yourEmail@email.com" 
git config --global color.ui true

Setting up passwordless commits:


ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "yourEmail@email.com"
name it something like githubssh (generic, I know)
cat ~/.ssh/githubssh.pub
Copy that output and go to
SSH and GPG keys
New SSH key, then paste the output of the previous command. Give it a name, add it.
ssh -i ~/.ssh/githubssh -T git@github.com
Output should say "Hi  github_username! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access."
If not, remove the id_rsa.pub file and redo the steps. Take care if you have other ssh keys, do not delete them all.

Setting up GPG keys for verified commits:


gpg --full-generate-key
Select RSA and RSA (default), and key length as 4096.
Enter the asked details, and a password when prompted. When finished,
gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format LONG
Output should be something like:

$ gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format LONG
