when we configure git and type our email , then does that connect our git with our github account?
Also why do we need to connect with an editor?

Hi Epsa!
Thanks for reaching out.
Well, no, not directly. When you configure Git, you're just telling Git who you are: this information (name and email) is added to your commits to identify the author. But this doesn't automatically connect Git to GitHub. However, if the email you set in Git matches the email on your GitHub account, then GitHub will correctly associate your commits with your GitHub profile when you push your commits to a GitHub repo.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Ivan
