APPENDIX CGit and GitHub Tutorial

Git is one of the most widely used distributed/decentralized version control systems. To use Git, you first need to download and install it on your computer. For Windows, you can download the Git installer (at the time of writing, a file named Git-2.20.1-64-bit.exe) from the following web site:

https://gitforwindows.org/

For other operating systems, check the following web site for details:

Double-click the installer file Git-2.20.1-64-bit.exe to install Git, and accept all the default settings during the installation. After successful installation, run the program named Git GUI, shown in Figure C.1A. Select Create New Repository, and a new window will pop up, as shown in Figure C.1B. Select the directory where your project will be located, in this case, E:\MyProject, and then click the Create button. The Git GUI program's main interface will appear, as shown in Figure C.1C. From the Repository menu, select Git Bash, which is a terminal program, as shown in Figure C.1D. This is where you are mainly going to use Git. You can use standard commands, such as pwd to display the current project directory and dir or ls to list its content, as shown in Figure C.1D.
