2. Git & github

Git is a version control software. It trackes the changes made to a document or a group of documents.

1. Let's install git:

brew install git

2. Go to github and create an account: https://github.com

3. Tell git what your github info is:

Please do make sure that you replace “YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME” by your actual username. Same with your email.

git config --global user.name “YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME”;
git config --global user.email YOUR_EMAIL@DOMAIN.COM

4. Run this command so that you won't be asked your github password every time:

git config --global credential.helper store 

We are doing this so that next time you want to use git, you won't be asked for your password.
