To install git,

  1. Open your WSL terminal

  2. Run sudo apt update

  3. Run sudo apt install git-all

  4. 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 sudo apt 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.
