Github is a very useful tool for developers. This article will introduce how to install Github on Windows.

  1. Download Git

Visit the Git official website https://git-scm.com/ and download the latest version on the homepage. The installer file is an exe file that, when run, installs Git on your computer.

  1. Install Git

Double-click the downloaded exe file, and an installation wizard will pop up. You can proceed with the default settings, but make sure the following:

  • In the Select Components page, install Windows Explorer along with Git Bash.
  • In the Select Editor page, select your preferred editor. If there is no preference, the default value is selected.
  • On the Adjust your path environment page, select Use the Git command prompt and other Unix tools, and select Use the Windows default console window.
  • In the Configure Extras page, select Use OpenSSH as the default terminal choice for Git.
  1. Configure Github account
  • Open Git Bash and enter the following commands: git config --global user.name "your_username" and git config - -global user.email "your_email"

Replace "your_username" and "your_email" with your Github username and registered email address. These commands will configure your username and email globally and will be used in all Git repositories on your computer.

  1. Using Github on Windows

Now you can use Github anywhere on Windows. Perform the following steps:

  • Open Git Bash or any other Unix terminal window.
  • Clone the Github repository into your local Git repository using the following command: git clone https://github.com/username/repository.git

Replace "username" and " repository" is your Github username and repository name. While running this command, you will be asked for your Github credentials (username and password).
