guide: Add tutorial for setting up email and user name on GitHub and locally in `git` #341

Open teodutu opened 1 year ago

Many first time contributors (particularly students) run into checkpatch errors like this one [1] caused by authorship issues. They are easily fixed by setting the appropriate name and email both locally and on GitHub, but our contributing guidelines [2] don't specify this. They should be updated to contain explanations on how to correctly set this information.
