Installing git

brew install git

Setting up git

You’ll need to give git your name and email address.

First, set up your name. This helps git label all of your commits. Replace YOUR NAME below with your actual name.

git config --global user.name "YOUR NAME"

Next, set up your email. This lets GitHub know who you are. Be sure to use the same email address as the one you used to sign up for GitHub.

git config --global user.email "your.email@email.com"
