# Git Configuration

> Note: This is also in the install fest instructions for Linux and OS X. Repeated here for reference.

Using your email credentials for GIT, run these commands with your user and email configured.

```
git config --global user.name "YOUR-USERNAME"
git config --global user.email YOUR-EMAIL-ADDRESS
git config --global push.default simple
git config --global credential.helper cache
```

## Setting up SSH Key

You might find your self having to re-authenticate GIT every time you work on your command line. Setup SSH Keys to let Github remember your machine in the future.
