1. Create a GitHub account

2. Install Git

   1. Note Git is already installed on macOS

   2. Download for Windows

      1. Make sure you install Git Bash along with your installation, and leave everything else default

   3. If you’re already using Linux I bet you know what Git is

      1. For Ubuntu, run apt-get install git

      2. For Arch Linux, run pacman -S git

3. Set up SSH tokens

   1. First, run ssh-keygen in a terminal anywhere, and just leave everything default by pressing enter

   2. Navigate to ~/.ssh/ and open id_rsaed25519.pub in a text editor

      1. This is a hidden directory, so on Windows you might need to enable hidden folders if in GUI

      2. To open from terminal if you have VSCode installed, run code ~/.ssh/id_rsaed25519.pub

   3. Copy the ssh key listed in this file into your GitHub’s SSH keys here

   4. If you have multiple machines, you’ll need to do this for each machine (i.e. dual booting or using a VM)

4. Run these two commands to save your GitHub credentials, but put in your own credentials

   1. Code Block
      $ git config --global user.name "John Doe" $ git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com
