Introduction & Setup

What is Git: Git is a distributed version control system used by developers to track changes to their code over time. Why use Git: It allows multiple developers to collaborate on the same project without overwriting each other's work. Install Git on Windows: Download the official installer from git-scm.com and run it using the default settings. Install Git on Mac: Use Homebrew by running brew install git in your terminal. Configure your username: Open your terminal and run git config --global user.name "Your Name" to identify your commits. Configure your email: Run git config --global user.email "your.email@example.com" to link your commits to your email address.
