Committing to a project

Now that you've created your project and have an SSH key set up, we can start committing code to our project. First, let's make sure that we've configured our git client correctly. Run the following two commands to set your git username and email:

git config --global user.name "Biff Meerkat"git config --global user.email "biff.meerkat@example.com"

Once you've done this, you can start working on your project. Depending on whether you've already started working or not, there's a couple of different ways to clone or prepare the repository.
