If you’re new to Git, your first step is to install it, configure the basic settings, and create your first project. This guide will walk you through the process step by step.

• Go to Git for Windows. Download Git.
• Download the installer (.exe).
• Run it → follow the steps (default options are fine for beginners).
• After installation, open Git Bash or Command Prompt and check:

  git --version
  

Set Up Git (First-Time Configuration)
After installation, configure your identity (so Git knows who is making changes):

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "your.email@example.com"

Check your settings:

git config --list

Now Git is installed and ready to use!

Create a GitHub Account
The next step is to set up your GitHub account.

Go to github.com
 and sign up for a free account.
Once your account is created:

• You’ll be able to create repositories (storage spaces for your projects).
• You can share your code with others.
• You can also collaborate with classmates or teams easily.

Think of GitHub as your online portfolio + teamwork space where all your projects live.
