+The first thing you want to do right off the bat
+is to identify yourself: add your name and e-mail
+address to your Git configurations. This is
+done with two simple commands:
+
+@example
+git config --global user.name 'YOUR NAME'
+git config --global user.email 'YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS'
+@end example

+It is possible to sign your work with GPG. If you
+are planning on doing this, and doing this with
+another GPG key then your default key, you can
+configure Git to using another key by default:

+git configre --global user.signingkey YOUR_GPG_KEY_ID
