Installing Git

Git is really simple to install, instructions and binaries can be obtained from its official download page. Select your target platform (Windows, macOS, Linux) to see the various options for install Git.

Note: On Windows, you will have to got through an install Wizard. Customize the installation to whatever you see fit but you must tick the option for adding Git to your system %PATH% or 'PATH'.

For the purposes of the this book, we will assume you are using a Bash-based terminal. This is just the regular shell on Linux and macOS. You can use the Git Bash Shell that installs with Git on Windows.
