Git setup

If you have already setup Git, you do not need to set it up again.

1. If you haven’t already, download and install Git: https://git-scm.com/

   1. Git should already be installed on Linux and MacOS.

2. Windows (Linux and MacOS users skip step): Set line endings.

   1. Check: git config --get core.autocrlf

      1. If it is true or input , you do not need to set anything.

   2. Set: git config --global core.autocrlf [setting] .

      1. --global is optional, and replace [setting] with either true or input

      2. When in doubt, use input

   3. Additional information here: https://www.git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Configuration#_core_autocrlf

3. Configure Git with your name and email: https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-configure-git-username-and-email/

   • --global if you want to use it as the default, otherwise it will just be for the current repository.

   • You can use your anonymous GitHub no-reply email.
