The dev-desktop docs say you should check that your email has been setup before running init.sh

## How to set up your account
When connecting to the machine for the first time, there are a few things you
might want to do.
First, check that your Git username and email are configured correctly.
```shell
git config -l --global
```
You can configure your username and email address with:
```shell
git config --global user.name "Your name"
git config --global user.email "your-email"
```
## How to install a Rust toolchain
The dev desktops don’t have Rust pre-installed, but instead make it easy to
install a specific toolchain from a local repository or worktree.
First, you want to run the following command to install `rustup`:
```shell
/usr/local/bin/init.sh
```

However running init.sh is what sets up a users git to have their name and email (from rust-lang/team)

https://github.com/rust-lang/simpleinfra/blob/f913b2b4d76b327031c3be225d54dc7e8a940241/ansible/roles/dev-desktop/files/scripts/init.sh#L8

We should change the docs to first have user's run init.sh, and then check that their gitconfig is correct.
