Git Setup - New User on old PC

Question

I've taken ownership of a PC that was a former employee. Git was installed and the .config file etc is therefore under the former employees directory under ./Users.

Do I need to do a brand new install of MySysGit or can I run some commands to get git configured to look at my directory under ./Users/MyAccountName?

Answer 1

You can just copy the former's employee .gitconfig to your Users' directory, and edit it with a text editor to give it your idenntity (name and email)
