Review details

Suppressed comments (1)

CONTRIBUTING.md:195

  • These commands write to the global Git config, so they change the identity used by every repository, while any existing repository-local user.name/user.email will override them. Since this section is configuring the identity for this contribution, use repository-local commands (or explicitly document the precedence and global side effect) so the setting actually controls commits here without affecting unrelated accounts.
git config --global user.name  "<your GitHub display name, or your username if none is set>"
git config --global user.email "<your GitHub account email>"
