We don't want to start by recommending a permanent configuration, but a
temporary solution so they start training their fingers and maybe learn
how to do a rebase. So we start with the commands.
Also, we need to be clear about what we mean by "specifying"; merge, or
rebase.
Moreover, it's better use --global in the configuration commands like we
did with push.default.
And finally, point to the documentation that explains what is a
non-fast-forward, and how to solve it:
git help fast-forward
