Presumably, it should be in the same directory as the .gitignore file...

One last question, how do you add 'my name' and 'my email address' to
this
file?
The AWDWR authors indicate that it should look like:
[user]
name = Sam Ruby
email = (e-mail address removed)

I wonder why the guys over there wrote the documentation?

Cheers

...thanks for the helpful words...

...i've used PVCS and Subversion but Git is new to me...
...the Git books on Amazon go way back to 2010 and 2009 and the Git User
Manual is about 100 pages...
...i was just trying to set up a Git Rails project using the AWDWR book and
was blocked by the .gitconfig file...
...i got a partial answer from this Ruby site and can continue with the
book...

...i will read the Git User Manual next week...

...i didn't mean to start a 'flaming war'...

Good weekend

...ok, will do - sorry...

No need to apologize all the time. :)

It's a good idea to head over to github, anyway, if you plan to work
with Rails a lot. A lot of tooling centers around Git and silently
assumes that you either know Git, or have it at least installed
(that's why AWDWR mentions Git: It's used to pull plugins). And, of
course, Rails is hosted on github.

Though the folk I have met,
(Ah, how soon!) they forget
When I've moved on to some other place,
There may be one or two,
When I've played and passed through,
Who'll remember my song or my face.
