git config --global user.email ravi@ravi.com #To add email for the git application
git config --global core.editor "code --wait" #to setup the default editor as vscode. the --wait flag is to keep the window open until we close it
git config --global -e # will open the config file for us to editLet's talk about CRLF
- Windows set the EOL (end of line) as CR LF (Carriage Return Line Feed)
- Mac/Linux set the EOL as LF (only Line Feed)
So it is important to setup the EOL characters correctly when working with different OSes.
The thumb rule is to set
truefor Windows andinputfor Mac/Linux
git config --global core.autocrlf input # for Mac/Linux
git config --global core.autocrlf true # for WindowsSettings are applied only for the current Repository
