Bootstrap git config with user profile information
Since IDX is a batteries included approach to a hosted IDE, I think it would be really helpful to seed the vm with user.name and user.email settings. This would allow an authenticated git user to make a commit without needing to drop to the terminal for manual configuration and one less visit to a msft site to troubleshoot.
git config --global user.name "John Doe"
git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com

This is quite important, and also the management of SSH keys from the settings panel.

+1 to that, I couldn't create a commit before I ran these command in a Terminal. This will drastically lower friction to using IDX

Mark - this is a great idea. We'll look into this in the near future as part of general Git improvements.
