and to do that you need Git at the command line,

the graphical user interface, and an acount on github.com

[GitHub & Git Foundations]

[Setup Checklist]

First you need to make sure that you have Git installed on the command line.

There's installers for that, and there's also installers for graphical user interfaces.

You also need to make sure that you have an account on github.com.

and, after we have these three tools all set up, we want to maintain their versions.

And these tools all auto-update.

[Setup: Git Version]

To install Git on the command line, the best place to go is to git-scm.com

There you'll find a list of all the different versions of git

but more importantly, you'll find out how to install it

based on your operating system.

If you have any questions about when you might need to update,

you can go back to this site as often as possible,

to find out what the most recent version is.

[Setup: GitHub Installers]

Now, that's kind of the long way to install it.

There's also graphical user interfaces that have kind of trumped that.

mac.gihub.com and windows.github.com

include a graphical user interface and a command line bundled into one,

and it auto-updates the version to keep it completely up to date.

So, if you are on either one of these platforms

and you don't know whether you're going to be using command line all the time

or just some of the time with some of these clients,

installing those will allow you to stay up to date without having to think about it.

Once you have those tools, that will allow you to create repositories locally,

but collaborating with others, that's a big deal with git.

What do I need to be able to share the code with you?

[Setup: GitHub Account]

Once you decide you want to collaborate with other people,

what you should do right away,

sign up for your free GitHub account,

and just get started collaborating.

You can sign in with these same credentials

into either of the two desktop and GUI clients,

and it will show all the repositories

that you've already started, and ones you're already privileged enough to commit to,

and then give you access to share these out with colleagues like Brent.

Absolutely.
