¶ Getting Started with Git
Git is a widely-used distributed version control system that helps developers manage and track changes to their code. Follow these steps to get started with Git:
¶ Gaining access to my git server 
Go to https://forgejo.makinbacongaming.mywire.org/user/sign_up and make a user. Let me know what the name of the user is that you created. (it doesn't need to be a real email address)
¶ Installing Git
- run
git --versionin the terminal
if you see a version output, skip this step
- Visit the Git website at git-scm.com.
- Download the Git installer for your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux).
- Run the installer and follow the installation prompts.
- Open a terminal or command prompt to verify that Git is installed by running the following command:
git --version
Example Correct Output
PS C:\Users\jb090> git --version
git version 2.23.0.windows.1
¶ Configure Git
- After installing Git, set your name and email address for your commits using the following commands:
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "your@email.com"
Replace "Your Name" and "your@email.com" with your actual name and email.
Congratulations! You've started using Git for version control. Continue to learn more about Git by exploring its documentation and using Git commands to manage your code. Happy coding with Git!
