Git helps you download and manage projects from websites like GitHub. Here's how to install it on your Windows computer:

Step 1: Download Git

  1. Go to the Git website: https://git-scm.com/downloads
  2. Click the Download for Windows button.
  3. You will typically be downloading Standalone Installer and specifically the 64-bit Git for Windows Setup.
  4. Wait for the download to finish. It might take a few minutes.

Step 2: Install Git

  1. Find the file you just downloaded. It's probably in your Downloads folder.
  2. Double-click the file. Its name will look something like "Git-2.x.x-64-bit.exe".
  3. If you see a security warning, click "Run" or "Yes" to continue.
  4. You'll see a window with a lot of options. Typically you will accept the defaults - just click "Next" for each screen.
  5. On the last screen, click "Install".
  6. Wait while Git installs. This might take a few minutes.
  7. When it's done, click "Finish".
