title: Git configuration user.name doesn't work
body: <p>I installed Git for Windows 7 today. I don't know much about Git yet and I'm following <a href="http://git-scm.com/book/en/Getting-Started-First-Time-Git-Setup" rel="noreferrer">http://git-scm.com/book/en/Getting-Started-First-Time-Git-Setup</a> and videos from YouTube on that subject. On the videos people install Git and go to the command line and use</p>
  
  <pre><code>git config --global user.name = "My Name"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <pre><code>git config --global user.email = "email@example.com"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and it creates <code>.gitconfig</code> file in <code>C:/Users/admin/.gitconfig</code> with correct values for them.</p>
  
  <p>After running the above lines of code three times this is what I got in that file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[user]
      name = =
      email = =
      name = =
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why isn't it working? I followed the official tutorial and I see that it works for other people on YouTube but not for me.</p>
