The git config command is used to configure Git settings on your machine. It allows you to set global or repository-specific configurations, such as your username, email, editor, and more. The --global flag applies the setting globally, while omitting it applies the setting only to the current repository.

Example:

git config --global user.name "John Doe"
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
