What is Git?

Git is an efficient tool used by DevOps in the management of source code aided by an open-source Version Control System (VCS), which carries out tasks of all ranges (small or even large).

It is also important to note that Git functions as a tool for managing different source codes, which are later transferred and saved as files in a Git repository. 

In this article, you will learn the step-by-step guide on how to install Git on your Windows. 

Prerequisites

  1. A computer that has Windows on it.
  2. A good internet connection. 

Let’s get started. 

Installing Git on Windows

Let’s get started on the first step of installing Git on your Windows.

Step 1: 

Getting Git for Windows is easier via Git’s website. So, visit Git to download.

On the Git website, select the Git version that fits the computer. Most people use 64-bit Windows. So, I’ll click on 64-bit Git for Windows Setup, and your file will start downloading.

Step 2:

Now, you’re downloading Git for Windows on your computer. But you have to install it. So, double-click the file you just downloaded at the bottom right of the page and follow the installation prompts by clicking “Next.”

Step 3:

Git will ask for “Where should Git be installed?” You can click “Next” to save Git on the default C:\ProgramFiles\Git, or choose the Select Destination Location.
