Post any questions you may have here during the training.

blueones commented 5 years ago

question: under one account there are multiple emails(local config) that can be linked to multiple repos. So I thought your user.name is the "unique ID" of your github account? How come that can be anything else(other than your github account name)

Why is it fetch.prune and not pull.prune?

@blueones Username is intended to act as a signature, much like the signature at the bottom of your e-mail.

The authenticator is your user.email, and the first time you perform a network command with GitHub you'll end up needing to log-in with e-mail and password.
