Download git and install.
We're not going to use the GUI client, because it doesn't allow you to access the powerful guts of git, it's liable to change (making you re-learn everything) and you'll see the same CLI interface on any OS you need to work with in the future.
Search for "git" using your system's built-in search feature. You should find a result for Git Shell or Git Bash. Open that application and move on to the configuration section.
These instructions are not OS-specific.
Set user-specific info with:
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "youremail@blah.com"If you need more help, see this guide.
To generate and set git to use SSH keys (recommended), follow this guide.
Once you get everything set up, I suggest going though this quick, interactive tutorial.
