Identifying yourself when committing in Git

[fu]

Quick note:

We'd like you to use your Dreamwidth username / email when committing. This makes it a lot easier for us to track who did what in the future. It also helps us match the author of the commit with who you are, and lets us confirm that we've received your CLA.

Edit your config (~/.gitconfig) and add this section:

[user]
name = USERNAME
email = USERNAME@dreamwidth.org


Then add your USERNAME@dreamwidth.org email to your Github account, so that the commits on Github will link to your identity on Github.

Please don't forget to tweak this setting on both your local computer and your Dreamhack if you do commits on both. Thank you!

If you're working on other projects, you can also just edit your author identity in just the Dreamwidth repositories (Thanks shadowspar)

FWIW, you don't have to use your wallet name on Bugzilla, although a lot of people do. D and Mark and Dre know mine, but I'm just listed as 'Momiji' there :)

Thanks. :) Yeah, I knew it wasn't required, but I wanted to change it so that it was on there.
