Git

beginner

Version control. Undo for your entire project.

Git tracks every version of every file in your project, lets you experiment on branches without fear, and makes collaborating with other people possible without emailing zip files. Created by Linus Torvalds in 2005 to manage Linux kernel development, it's now used by essentially every software team on Earth.

Setup

Git is a command-line tool. After installing, tell it your name and email — every change you save is stamped with them.

Bash

winget install Git.Git
# Or download from https://git-scm.com

# Then, in a new terminal:
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
git --version
