Gitconfig user name and email won't work for all users

[benknoble]

Expected Behavior

When installing, the user is prompted for a git user name and email, overwriting any that are currently present. This allows users to maintain their git identity and still pull in my git config.

This should be seamless and easy to maintain as changed, despite the fact that my repo's copy has my name and email.

Current Behavior

The issue is that as soon as the git config file has changed, the local repo has diverged from the remote. This would likely cause issues with pulls either

1. overwriting the changed info, possibly causing the user to unknowingly change identities or
2. causing conflicts, which is not a seamless user interaction

Possible Solution

Instead of overwriting the values in the file, consider two approaches.

Symlink iff Ben Knoble

1. Prompt if Ben Knoble
2. If yes
3. Symlink git config
4. If no
5. cp git config
6. Prompt for new values

or

Copy the file in place

1. cp git config
2. Prompt for user name and email

The first has the advantage that it's easier for me, as my copy is in sync with the repo always, &c. The second has the advantage that the script is simpler; it does the same thing no matter what.

The disadvantage for both is that any users other than me will need to occasionally see if the gitconfig file has been updated (mercifully this is now rare) and then cp it over, changing the values as necessary. That is, they should occasionally rerun setup/git-setup.sh with whatever fix is introduced.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. bootstrap this project and provide a different user and email when prompted.
2. Pull in new changes.

Your Environment

Also need to remove the whole configure gitignore part, as that can't be changed.
