Git setup
Firstly download the latest version of Git at: Git - Downloads
Open the downloaded file and follow the instructions, leaving all the default values.
Run the following command to define your name and the email you will then use to create your free account on GitHub:
git config --global http://user.name "Your name or nickname"
git config --global user.email "Your@email.com"
To check that everything is OK, reboot your console and just type 'git'. If the installation has worked, you should see some English text explaining the use of Git.
