git works best if it's configured to match github configuration ( username, email).
this is not essential but if there is time, in the intro or just before the exercise, review configuration, following the same steps from https://happygitwithr.com/hello-git
I'm rescinding this suggestion since this workshop/book not a how-to-git book and for time constraints. Can save this for a more hands-on, intermediate "git in practice" workshop. closing.
