The Identity

[INCOMING — Mission Control, Earth]

Cadet, before Git records any of your work, it needs to know who's making the changes. Every commit you'll ever make will carry your name and email.

When your script runs, a fresh Git repository already exists in the current directory. Set the local identity:

git config user.name "Your Name"
git config user.email "you@example.com"

Without --global, these settings only apply to this one repo — exactly what we want for a contained challenge.

Your Task

In starter/starter.sh, set user.name and user.email on the current Git repo.

Objectives

• user.name is set on the repo (non-empty)
