title: Where to enter git commands?
body: <p>I'm pretty sure this will be a basic question for a lot of people, but here goes:</p>
  
  <p>I started going through the book "Pro Git", and it says to start by setting my username and email using the following lines:</p>
  
  <p><code>$ git config --global user.name "John Doe"</code></p>
  
  <p><code>$ git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com</code></p>
  
  <p>Where do I type these lines? I tried typing them into command prompt and the git GUI, but I've had no success. I'm using Windows 7.</p>
