Git is a piece of software that allows multiple developers to work together on a project. It provides you with methods of reverting changes through incremental backups, control who can/can't send changes, and more.

In this article, you will be learning how to set your computer up to access repositories on GitHub.


GitHub Registration

The first step is to create a GitHub account.

  • Open the registration link.
  • Provide a username, password, and email that you do not mind other builders knowing.
  • You do not need a paid plan.

Once registered, send a message to your HDM or a GitHub tech team owner.


Installing Git Extensions

Git Extensions is the software you will be using to interact with Git. It provides a clean user interface so that you will not have to learn any command line operation.
