To install Git on Windows there is an easy installer you can download from git-for-windows.github.io/. After completing the installation and accepting all the default settings there should be a new application called Git Bash which will help you using Git.
After the installation some basic configurations are required like your name and your email. These are important because Git needs to know who is the author of your commits.
Start Git Bash and type the following commands:
git config --global user.name "Marius Istudor" git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
You can run these commands any time you want but once you have run them they will stick around between updates.
The tool git config lets us changing the configuration variables that controls how Git looks and operates. You can check the settings using the following command:
git config --list
You can check the value of a parameter by typing git config
git config user.name
You can find more commands by typing help:
git config --help
