Quoting from a very early part of

    http://git-htmldocs.googlecode.com/git/gittutorial.html


It is a good idea to introduce yourself to Git with your name and
public email address before doing any operation.  The easiest
way to do so is:

------------------------------------------------
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name Comes Here"
$ git config --global user.email you@yourdomain.example.com
------------------------------------------------
