Setting your username in Git

By
Git uses a username to associate commits with an identity. The Git username is not the same as your GitHub username.
You can change the name that is associated with your Git commits using the git config command. The new name you set will be visible in any future commits you push to GitHub from the command line. If you’d like to keep your real name private, you can use any text as your Git username.
Changing the name associated with your Git commits using git config will only affect future commits and will not change the name used for past commits.

Setting your Git username for every repository on your computer

  1. Open Git Bash.
  2. Set a Git username:
    $ git config --global user.name "Mona Lisa"
  3. Confirm that you have set the Git username correctly:
    $ git config --global user.name
> Mona Lisa

Setting your Git username for a single repository

  1. Open Git Bash.
  2. Change the current working directory to the local repository where you want to configure the name that is associated with your Git commits.
  3. Set a Git username:
    $ git config user.name "Mona Lisa"
  4. Confirm that you have set the Git username correctly:
    $ git config user.name
> Mona Lisa

Terraform

By
Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions. Configuration files describe to Terraform the components needed to run a single application or your entire datacenter. Terraform generates an execution plan describing what it will do to reach the desired state, and then executes it to build the described infrastructure. As the configuration changes, Terraform is able to determine what changed and create incremental execution plans which can be applied. The infrastructure Terraform can manage includes low-level components such as compute instances, storage, and networking, as well as high-level components such as DNS entries, SaaS features, etc. The key features of Terraform are: Infrastructure as Code : Infrastructure is described using a high-level configuration syntax. This allows a blueprint of your datacenter to be versioned and

Java 8 coding challenge: Roy and Profile Picture

(b) else user is prompted to crop it. Print " CROP IT " in this case. (quotes are only for clarification) Given L, N, W and H as input, print appropriate text as output.
