Installing Git and Initial Configuration 🛠️

Intermediate

Start by downloading Git from the official website (https://git-scm.com/) suitable for your OS—Windows, macOS, or Linux. After installation, configure your user name and email, crucial for tracking contributions:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "youremail@example.com"

This setup personalizes your commits and links them with your identity. Verify your configuration with:

git config --list

Proper initial setup ensures correct attribution and smooth collaboration workflows.
