Users typically want to set the default for their account. Thus,
start the hint with how to achieve that; and only later explain
how to restrict identity to a single repository.

I watched someone setting up git, who never used it before.
The hint was leading him into the wrong direction. He
certainly wanted to set a global default. Let's give users
the right hint first.
