2. Verify you have git on your machine

   Most machines come pre-loaded with git. 🎉

   To verify you have git, open up your terminal and run:

   which git

   This should return a path of where git is installed. If the command returns git not found, we will need to install git on your machine.

3. Setup a Netlify account.
