Git / GitHub Usage Guide

1. Installation

In order to access and upload files to Git repositories without using GitHub, such as pushing a new file created in the PROS Editor, one must install Git.

How to set up Git for Windows: (As of 9/6/2018)

  1. Go to https://git-scm.com/.

  2. Click on the download link, e.g. "Download 2.18.0 for Windows."

  3. When the download finishes, run the downloaded file (.exe).

  4. Complete each step of the installation executable, leaving all default settings checked, except for Install Git Credential Manager.

  5. Once the installation has completed, open up a Command Prompt by Windows searching: cmd.exe.

  6. In the Command Prompt, verify that Git has installed correctly by typing:

git
  1. If there are no errors from step 6, you now need to "register" your computer with Git. To do so, type:
git config --global user.email "you@example.com"

replacing you@example.com with your GitHub email address and

git config --global user.name "Your Name"

replacing Your Name with your first and last name.


2. Creating a GitHub Account

To create a GitHub account, go to https://github.com/join and follow the prompts.
