Basic Git Configuration

I recently purchased a new machine and had to configure Git again. The email/user setup it reminds you of but I couldn't remember how to configure color output without some digging. So I decided to share it here just in case anyone else may find it useful.

	git config --global user.name "Your Name Comes Here"
	git config --global user.email you@yourdomain.example.com
	git config --global core.editor "vim"
	git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore
	git config --global color.diff auto
	git config --global color.status auto
	git config --global color.branch auto
	git config --global color.interactive auto
