Git with a bit more intent

You have been committing all along. Now do it with a little more deliberateness, because from here your tests need git to reach a server.

Tell git who you are. Do this once per machine. Use your own name and email.

Terminal
git config --global user.name "Your Name"git config --global user.email "you@example.com"

Tip

Use the email tied to your GitHub account, so your commits link to your profile and the contribution graph fills in. That green graph is a small, honest signal that you show up.
