Line 1:
Git sometimes comes pre-installed on Mac. To see if this is true for your machine, type in [[OSCTC_Resources/OSX_command_line#Open_a_command_prompt: | a terminal]]:
git --version
If this returns a version number, such as:
git version 1.7.9.5
Great, you have git installed! If it returns some kind of error, such as "No command 'git' found", go ahead and install it.
== Downloading git if needed ==
For other versions of Mac OS:
*
== Set your user name and email ==
You'll also want to tell git your name and email address. To do this, open a terminal and type:
git config --global user.name "your-user-name"
git config --global user.email "your email"
You can test that they've successfully been set by typing:
git config --global user.name
git config --global user.email
== Sign up for a Github account ==
You can do so at [https://github.com/users this link].
