Git setup, terminal returning : command not found
14,939
Take out the $
at the start; $
is just the normal notation that people write to show that it's a terminal command.
The real command is:
git config --global user.name "Firstname Lastname"
Since git
isn't working and you're running Github for Mac, you can install the command line tools through the Github Preferences in the Advanced tab.
