WARNING

The below video is for Windows - most of the steps are identical, except you'll be using brew instead of apt to install. See the instructions below the video for details.

Install Git ​

To install git,

  1. Make sure you have brew installed.

  2. Open a terminal and run brew install git

  3. Check git is installed by running git --version (you might need to close and reopen the terminal)

Configure Git ​

To configure your git installation, add your user details:

bash
git config --global user.name "John Doe"
git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com

Sign up to Github ​

If you haven't done so already, create an account with Github.

Authenticate with Github ​

The easiest way is using the gh command line tool.

  1. Install gh by running brew install gh

  2. Run gh auth login

  3. Select "Github.com", "HTTPS" and "Sign in with browser"

  4. Copy the one-time code and paste it into the device login page

  5. Click "Authorize" on the confirmation page, and you should see "Authorization complete" in your terminal.

That's it! Git and Github are set up and connected.
