To set up the global parameters for your local Git repository, follow these steps:

### 1. **Set Global Username and Email**
These are used to identify the author of commits.

```bash
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
```

Verify the setup:

```bash
git config --global --list
```

### 2. **Set Default Editor (Optional)**
Choose the editor Git will use for commit messages. For example:

- For VS Code:
  ```bash
  git config --global core.editor "code --wait"
  ```

- For Vim:
  ```bash
  git config --global core.editor "vim"
  ```

### 3. **Set Line Ending Preferences (Optional)**
This is especially useful for cross-platform projects:

- For Windows:
  ```bash
  git config --global core.autocrlf true
  ```

- For macOS/Linux:
  ```bash
  git config --global core.autocrlf input
  ```

### 4. **Set Default Branch Name**
Starting with Git 2.28, you can specify the default branch name for new repositories.

```bash
git config --global init.defaultBranch main
```

### 5. **Set Credential Helper (Optional)**
If you want Git to remember your credentials:

- For macOS:
  ```bash
  git config --global credential.helper osxkeychain
  ```

- For Windows:
  ```bash
  git config --global credential.helper wincred
  ```

- For Linux:
  ```bash
  git config --global credential.helper cache
  ```

### 6. **Set Git Ignore Case Sensitivity**
Make Git ignore file name case changes:

```bash
git config --global core.ignorecase true
```

### 7. **Set Pull Behavior**
Decide how Git behaves during `git pull`:

- Use rebase instead of merge (common for keeping history clean):
  ```bash
  git config --global pull.rebase true
  ```

### 8. **Global Configuration File**
Your global settings are stored in the `~/.gitconfig` file (Linux/macOS) or `%USERPROFILE%\.gitconfig` (Windows). You can manually edit this file if needed.

Check your full global configuration with:

```bash
git config --list --show-origin
```

After these steps, your global Git parameters will be set up. Let me know if you need help with specific settings!
