Git & GitHub

Setup

First, if you don’t have a GitHub account already, go and sign up for a (free) GitHub account.

Then, double-check that you have installed git as part of the setup instructions. Open up a terminal and type:

git --version

and you should get something like:

git version 2.34.0

It doesn’t much matter if the version number isn’t identical to the one above.
