Quick Windows Git Installation

• Use the context menu to start the clone:

• If this is the first time you run Git, it will ask you to complete the profile setup:

• The only things you need to complete are the User name and email address
• These values will be embedded in any commits you make
• Commits are hashed and can't be changed later, so it is imperative that you set appropriate long-term values
• A long-term personal email address is usually recommended
• You can change these values later, but changing them will not change any commits that you have already contributed to a repository

• The files will be in C:\DEV\resiprocate after the clone:

• Click "Clone" to proceed:

• Wait a couple of minutes, it is downloading the full history of every file in every branch:

• It is not finished and ready to use:

• Use the context menu to access Git functions:

• Notice how the browser can easily show all activity on a file on all branches in chronological order?
• Browsing the file in other branches is lightning fast because everything is cached locally by the "Clone" operation
