Exercise 02: Local Setup

Goal

Confirm your Git identity and safe defaults.

Tasks

1. Run git config --global --list.
2. Set user.name, user.email, and init.defaultBranch.
3. Set pull.ff only.
4. Create a test repo and confirm the default branch is main.

Reflection

• Which email address will appear on public commits?
• Why is pull.ff only useful for beginners?
