Follow the steps below to configure your Iguana X Git settings with GitHub.
In Iguana X, go to Settings > Git.
STEP 1: Author Info - Enter a name and email to be used to label your commits
Git requires a name and email to label your commits. We recommend you use an email address recognized by your Git cloud host so you can trace your commits in that cloud service.
