All right.
Welcome back.
So in this video we're going to download install GitHub desktop.
So the main purpose of GitHub desktop is to work with GitHub online.
So let's go to our trusty browser we're gonna go to Google Chrome majority of open here and I'm I type
in GitHub desktop.
So let's click on GitHub desktop simple collaboration from your desktop and click on Download for Windows
what it's gonna do is it's going to identify what your system is and it would say download for windows
down load for Mac etc..
So when I click on that or save the file and as this is loading let's see.
OK.
Well it was done.
So the cool thing about this and I'm going to show you some of the features while we're waiting.
Never mind.
Here it is.
So let's open that up in the downloads folder double click on it.
Come here.
There you go.
And one thing I want you to do before we go any further is we're going to go and we're going to edit
the appearance.
Let's go to Options appearance and let's go to dark it is so much easier in your eyes.
And I mean make this full screen for a second.
It's so much easier in your eyes if you do a darker theme because when you're standing at a monitor
all day you don't want to be looking at a white screen because you're going to see dots.
So I highly recommend doing the darker theme it's going to help your eyes.
And if you're sitting at your desk for a long time trust me this will help a lot.
So this is a great program.
It's really cool.
I'm going to show you a couple of things about it.
So let me exit out of this for a second and a close this so for the web browser I want you to go to
get hub get hub dot com.
OK.
And then just minimize that for a second that I want you to double click on get hub desktop and let's
pin this in the taskbar and then minimize it and then delete this shortcut on the desktop because we're
going to just use the taskbar for now.
So the cool thing about this is if I wanted to make a new repository I can make one right here.
So what I'm going to do is we're going to make a folder right here so the new folder and we'll do repository.
OK.
Now if I go in here I click on new the repository and I type in New dash one.
Right.
And I choose the folder to save it I'm so we're saving the repository so select that and I'll add a
repository
see if that works would go out of here for second and we'll help in here.
OK.
OK we'll do it here.
Let's just do new dash one and create it and then we're gonna publish it to the repository so I'm going
to sign into my account to learn task plus
I'll sign in
and let's publish that yet we're going to publish it as new dash one publish the repository and you're
going to see once it loads it's going to give you the option to view and get hub so click there and
view it.
And now you can see we've done an initial comment right from the desktop and it's a private repository
which is fine for now.
So no one else is going to be able to see this.
So you can practice and rip stuff up and then go from there.
OK.
So we did the initial comment here.
Now if you click on the one comment here it's going to show you how many comments you've made.
So obviously only one.
But it's really cool when you start getting 15 to 20 to 100 to a thousand you'll see all of those right
here.
OK.
So we got that done
so that's all I have for this video.
I'll see in the next video.
Thanks for watching.
