Config

• Local vs global configs
  • git config —local —list
  • git config —global —list
  • Use local config if we have a repo that needs different credentials other than the one in global
• Set name and password
  • git config —local user.name …
  • To set up password and stuff:
    • Configuring git Credentials | Baeldung on Ops
    • github - Git: Set local user.name and user.email different for each repo - Stack Overflow

git config user.name "Your Name Here"
git config user.email [email protected]

git config --global user.name "Your Name Here"
git config --global user.email [email protected]

git config --unset user.email

Windows LF Issue

newline - How do I force Git to use LF instead of CR+LF under Windows? - Stack Overflow

• Do these before pulling or cloning anything

  • git config --global core.autocrlf false
  • git config --global core.eol lf

• If you already have previous projects, you can manually fix line endings like below strategies

• Then you can install prettier globally

• Run prettier --write . with this .prettierrc to fix all files/folders in the current directory

{
  "endOfLine": "lf"
}

• But prettier can sometimes not work out of box for some file types unless you install extra plugins with it
