Required Link to heading
You need a name and email otherwise commits won’t work:
git config --global user.name 'Your Name'
git config --global user.email 'your.email@faang.com'
Global .gitignore Link to heading
Don’t put junk like these in your poject’s .gitignore:
.DS_Store
.idea/
*.swp
Use your own config:
touch ~/.gitignore
git config --global core.excludesfile '~/.gitignore'
Symlink .dockerignore Link to heading
Add the git directory to your .gitignore file:
# Required since .dockerignore is a symlink to this file.
/.git
Now you can execute the symlink command:
ln -s .gitignore .dockerignore
Line endings Link to heading
Some people use wrong line endings, set this to use the proper ones:
git config --global core.autocrlf input
Diff Link to heading
Show whitespace errors in terminal diffs:
git config --global diff.wsErrorHighlight all
Better diff output:
git config --global merge.conflictStyle zdiff3
