Install Git

Preinstall Check

Before installing Git, it's not a bad idea to check if it's already installed.

• Open a terminal (Mac) or command prompt (Windows)
  • Open a terminal on a Mac https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QROX039ckO8
  • Open the command prompt in Windows https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE9WgNr3OjM
• At the command prompt run the code git --version
• If you don't see a Git version like git version 2.37.0.windows.1 (your version may not be exactly the same), then you need to download and install Git. (We'll learn more about what it does later.)

Download and Install Git

• Go to https://git-scm.com/downloads
• Download the correct installer for your operating system.
• Run the install program after it downloads.
• Post a screen shot in the discussion or come to office hours if you run into problems.

Confirm Installation

• Open a terminal (Mac) or command line (Windows)
• At the command prompt run the code git --version
• If you don't see a Git version like git version 2.37.0.windows.1 (your version may not be exactly the same), then you need to download and install Git. (We'll learn more about what it does later.)

Turn in Assignment

• Turn in a screenshot of your terminal or command prompt window showing your Git version.
