In this blog, you will be learning how to install, setup and configure Git on Windows OS. This will take, like 10 minutes!, it's that easy.
Allow the app to make changes to your device by clicking Yes on the User Account Control dialog that opens.
Give GNU General Public License a read, and then click on Next.
Leave the installation location on default and click on Next.
Leave the installation components on default and click on Next.
Set up will create the program's shortcut in a Start Menu folder. Click Next.
Open the drop-down menu to select a text editor of your choice. I have chosen VS Code here.
Set up for Git to name the branch after "git init". Leave it on default.
Adjusting your path environment - Select the recommended option.
The next option relates to server certificates. If you’re working in an Active Directory environment, you may need to switch to Windows Store certificates. Click Next.
Configuring the line ending conversions : Recommended to select the default option.
Choose the terminal emulator you want to use. The default MinTTY is recommended, for its features. Click on Next.
Default behavior of git pull : Default option
Choose a credential helper : Git Credential Manager Core
Default option recommended. If you want to use symbolic links, which are like shortcuts for the command line, tick the box. Click Next.
Click on Install after customization.
Click on Finish.
Launch Git Bash : Simply go to Start on your Windows, and then you will find a folder "Git". Click on it.
mkdir test
cd test
git init
