I. Customize Author Name and Email:
To customize your author name and email for source control for all projects, go to Xcode > Preferences > Source Control and click the Git tab. Enter your preferred author name and email address in the applicable fields.
Notes: If the Git tab doesn’t appear, make sure you select the Enable Source Control option in the General tab.
II. Create a Local Repository with Your New Project:
When you create a new Xcode project, one of the final steps is to specify where you want to save your project files. Here, you can selecting the “Create Git repository on my Mac” option and then clicking “Create“.
III. Create a Local Copy, or clone, of a Remote Git Repository:
- Copy the link to your repository
2. Go to “Terminal” on your Mac device, type cd and the directory where you want the cloned directory to be made.
3. Type “git clone”, and then paste the URL you copied in step 2. Press Enter. The local clone will be created.
DONE!!!!
Howdy! Git version control is essential for managing small to enormous projects effectively. A crucial first step is understanding how to configure it on your device (in this case, I’m using MacOS and Xcode). If you have any inquiries, ping me!
