Install Git Command Line (Exercise 1)

To fully understand git, it is important to start with the command line. GUI versions exist, which are great, but nothing beats the command line. And web app developers need to write build scripts, so understanding how to use git via the command line is important.

The easiest way to install git, it to use your package manager and your bash shell.

MAC

brew install git

Windows

https://git-scm.com/download/win

There is also the unofficial git open source projet "Git for Windows". This gives you a bash like CLI plus a GUI version.

Git for Windows

There is also a desktop version available for LINUX, MAC or WINDOWS at:
