+This guide covers basic git settings you should set before making any commits.
+
+Please note that config changes will only affect future commits. Existing commits will retain the info they were committed with. Also, the environment variables `GIT_COMMITTER_NAME`, `GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL`, `GIT_AUTHOR_NAME` and `GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL` will override git-config settings if they are defined.
