- Let's take a look at what it takes
to install Git on a Windows machine.
So you want to go to the Git website,
at git-scm.com,
and then click on this Downloads for Windows button.
From here the download should start automatically,
and what you want to do is go ahead
and run this .EXE file
when it's finished downloading.
You should choose the default installation options.
Once the installation is finished,
you should have access to the Git BASH application
in Windows.
Git BASH is where you want to run
all of the UNIX commands.
To find out what version of Git you have installed
you can run git --version.
You can see that we have, in this case, 1.9.5.
And we can use any other typical UNIX commands
like we would on a Mac
or any other Linux machine.
And that's all there is to it.
