Getting Started and Configuration

First, we can configure the editor and command-line settings.
# Enable automatic command-line highlighting:
git config --global color.ui auto
# Set up the general editor for commits:
git config --global core.editor notepad++
# In older Git versions, the default branch is "master." This command sets the default branch to "main"—the modern standard—for all newly created projects.
git config --global init.defaultBranch main
# Lists all your current Git settings, your name, and your email address. (This is ideal for verifying that your settings are correct.)
git config --list

Identification

git config --global user.name "İsminiz"
 
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

GitHub noreply Email Address

If we're working on GitHub, we don't want our own email address to appear in our commits. That's why we need to use the noreply email address provided by GitHub.

Creating and Downloading Projects

The following command converts a regular folder on your computer into a Git repository. When you run the command, a hidden .git directory is created inside the folder. Git stores the entire history there. 

git init

It downloads an existing project from a remote server, such as GitHub or GitLab, to your computer along with its entire history and files. 

git clone <URL>
