[PATCH] user-manual: Use "git config --global" instead of editing ~/.gitconfig

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Use git-config for setting global user.name and user.email rather than
telling the user to edit ~/.gitconfig directly. This brings 
user-manual.txt in line with tutorial.txt.
