+Whenever a Git commit is generated, Git requires information about the author of

+
+```
+git config --global "user.email" "your-email@domain"
+git config --global "user.name"  "Your Name"
+
+yadm add ~/.gitconfig
+```
+
+However, if you want commits to your **yadm** repo to use a different author,
+you can configure these settings in the **yadm** repo itself.
+
+```
+yadm gitconfig "user.email" "alternate-email@domain"
