How to configure Git in the Linux. I've never worked on Linux system neither did he. but some one approach us to use Linux for programming, so we did. Now how to configure git in Linux.
I've a window PC and Net beans IDE already has git feature, so i never need to configure it. But he's working in eclipse (his choice)

Installing and configuring Git on Linux is a very straightforward process as Git was natively developed for the Linux platform.

$ git config --global user.name "John Doe"
$ git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com
