== Install git ==
 
It's an insult in British English, but git is also an awesome version control tool. Here's how you install it:
 
Go to [http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/downloads/list?can=3&q=&sort=-uploaded&colspec=Filename+Summary+Uploaded+Size+DownloadCount this page on google code] and download the latest file ending in "-x86_64-leopard.dmg" (1.7.2.3 as of this writing). Once it's downloaded, double click to open. You'll see something like this:
<center>
[[File:Git-screenshot.png]]
</center>
Double-click the .pkg file to install. Once that's done, close all your open Terminal windows, and open a new one. Cut and paste the following into the new Terminal window:
<pre>
git --version
</pre>
It should respond with something like "git version 1.7.2.3".
 
==== Tell git who you are ====
 
* Open up a new Terminal window.
* <code>git config --global user.name "''Your Actual Name''"</code>
* <code>git config --global user.email "''Your Actual Email''"</code>
 
If this doesn't produce an error, congratulations! You have a successful install of git and you can move on to the next section.
 
Test it:
 
git config --global user.name
git config --global user.email
