Git: Setting Name/Email from the Command-Line

After logging into to git using your credentials, git knows  you are logged in but does not always know who you are with respect to your name and email. Adding this to  your global git settings is a matter of invoking git config --global as follows:

git config --global user.name "Jan David Narkiewicz"
git config --global user.email "jann@sofwarepronto.com"

Obviously, users should specify their own name and email address when  updating git's global configuration settings.
