If you want to keep your information private, you can set `user.name` to your username instead of your real name, and `user.email` to the one provided by GitHub when the [`Keep my email addresses private`](https://github.com/settings/emails#toggle_visibility) setting is checked in [GitHub Email Settings](https://github.com/settings/emails#primary_email_select_label).

We're going to run through the process of setting up a Git environment for Space Station 14 so that you can **contribute code through pull requests, create your own codebase**, or just **check out the history of the project.**
