From: Johan Herland Date: Thu, 10 May 2007 21:53:31 GMT Subject: [PATCH] user-manual: Use "git config --global" instead of editing ~/.gitconfig Message-ID: <200705102353.31821.johan@herland.net> 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.
