Git Installation on Windows
Step 1: Download the git “https://git-scm.com/downloads” & Choose the 64/32 bit version. After the file is downloaded, install it in the system.
Step 2: Check the Git version:
$git –version
Step 3: For any help, use the following command:
$git help config
Another way to use the same command is as follows:
$ git config –help
Step 4: Create a local directory using the following command:
$ mkdir test
$ cd test
Step 5: In next step is to initialize the directory:
$ git init
Step 6: In this step, go to the folder where “test” is created and create a text document named “demo.” Open “demo” and put any content, like “Hello World.” Save and close the file.
Step 7: Enter the Git bash interface and type in the following command to check the status:
$ git status
Step 8: In this step, add the “demo” to the current directory using the following command:
$ git add demo.txt
Step 9: In next step, make a commit using the following command:
$ git commit -m “committing a text file”
Step 10: In this step, Link the Git to your Github Account:
$ git config –global user.username
Step 11: In this step, Open your Github account and create a new repository with the name “test_demo” and click on “Create repository.” This is the remote repository. Next, copy the link of “test_demo.”
Step 12: Go back to Git bash and link the remote and local repository using the following command:
$ git remote add origin <link>
Key point: Here, <link> is the link copied in the previous step.
Step 13: In this step, push the local file onto the remote repository using the following command:
$ git push origin master
Step 14: Move back to the Github and click on “test_demo” and check if the local file “demo.txt” is pushed to this repository.
