lab 1 Setup

Goals

To setup git and node so that it is ready for work.

Setup Name and Email

If you have never used git before, you need to do some setup first. Run the following commands so that git knows your name and email. If you have git already setup, you can skip down to the line ending section.

Execute:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "your_email@whatever.com"

Setup Line Ending Preferences

Also, for Unix/Mac users:

Execute:

git config --global core.autocrlf input
git config --global core.safecrlf true

And for Windows users:

Execute:

git config --global core.autocrlf false
git config --global core.safecrlf true

Setup Node

For this tutorial you need a working Javascript interpreter. If you don’t have Node installed yet, it is time to install it up now with nvm:
