## Set Global Identity

Add you user name and you email to git. This is important because git commits uses this information

git config --global user.name "username"

git config --global user.email "user@email.com"

First create the ssh keys in your local computer. here how to. Then copy the public key into the git service.

If you download your own repo over https or ssh you can switch it to what ever you want to use, i prefer to use ssh in my local machine.

Switch a git from https to ssh run this command:

git remote set-url git@github.com:username/repo.git

Where username, your username for your git (hub or labs). Repo.git is the name or you repository.
