To install git on Windows, download and install via .exe.

Set your user name and email

You'll also want to tell git your name and email address. To do this, type the following into Git Bash: 

   git config --global user.name "Your 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

For each line above, it should print the settings that you chose.
