Setting Up Git on Your Machine

Hi there, good to know that you're taking the preparatory step for #Git516.

If you're new to git. You can have some background information [here] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software))

To get started with git you need to install it on your machine. [This resource] (https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/install-git/) would be helpful in getting this done.

If you have successfully installed git on your machine, you should also [create] (https://github.com/join?source=header-home) a free github account. Once done with this, you're set!

NOTE: It's a good idea to introduce yourself to git before carrying out any operation. Set your name and email as global identity on your local machine by running this commands(if you haven't done so yet):

git config --global user.name "your-name"

git config --global user.email your-email@your-domain-name.com

Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or feedback. I'll be glad to hear from you.

See you during #Git516
