 If you work on multiple Git projects and do not want to modify your email address for those, these commands can also be run without `--global` in a clone of MacPorts' repositories to only change the option for these repositories. If you are not a MacPorts committer, use any email address.

-Additionally one should define a few (very likely not necessarily global) presets for working with your clone of the MacPorts repository:
-{{{
-git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore_global
-git config --global commit.template ~/.git-commit-template
-}}}
-which adds an excludes file as well as a commit template.

 '''T.B.D.:''' MacPorts ports contributors should be encouraged to fork the original MacPorts {{{git}}} repository and introduce changes only in their forked repos. Contributions can then be "filed" to the original repo using GitHub's pull requests (PR). These PRs allow for user-friendly reviewing, commenting and in the future possibly also immediate issuing of CI builds.

+If you don't want to remember these rules, you can configure your git client to load a template whenever it prompts you for a commit message by setting the `commit.template` `git-config(1)` option.
