Whereas I tend to use the config and set it once and have it always
apply

git config --global user.name My Name
git config --global user.email myemail myhost com

Other handy git config options I have set while I'm thinking about it.

sendmail.smtpserver=my.smart.host -- smart host to send mail through
with git-send-email

color.diff=auto, color.status=auto and color.branch=auto -- these give
me colored output when I'm on a terminal

apply.whitespace=strip has git-apply strip trailing whitespaces

merge.summary=1 makes it so that merge commits have a summary of the
commits which were merged
