By following the previous download steps, you should have Git setup files on your Windows machine ready for installation. We will provide the installation steps on the latest Windows Server by the time of writing this post, and you can use any Windows version you prefer, there are no restrictions with the Windows version or build. By following the previous steps, you should now notice the Git bash icon added to your desktop.
The following steps will check if Git bash has been appropriately installed and responding to Git commands as expected:. Git should respond by providing the Git version and the platform running Git bash as shown in the next screenshot. However, it's required to provide Git with two basic configurations to be able to manage repositories.
Those settings are merely your name and your email. To configure Git with that required information follow these steps:. Which will list all the global configurations that have been set for Git so far as shown in the below screenshot. If you're not interested to know how Git worked to configure the username and email you can safely skip this sub-section. At this step, we have successfully configured Git and ready to provide different repository management commands, but if you'd like to know more about other settings, some extra configurations might be of interest.
Git, by default, displays most of its output on Git bash in a colored format. However, if you do not prefer this feature you can turn it off by applying the following command:. You can also leave the colors running but change them through other configurations.
For more information about how you can manage the extra configurations, you can visit Git - Git Configuration. This section will provide two important basic commands that you are going to find frequently throughout this tutorial, so it's essential to know more about them. Make sure you open Git bash and type in the following command:.
This command will respond with the current directory location. For example, in the screenshot below, the command pwd responded with the root location. This command will basically respond with listing all the files and directories at the current location as shown in the below screenshot. Apparently, it appears that the default location of the ls command is the same as the path where git-bash. Which is not desired as a best practice to create projects and files at this location.
So, to change the default location, you can use the traditional cd command, but it's a little different than the cd command that you type in your Windows command prompt. Make sure you include the double quotes otherwise Git will not be able to find your location. So the double quotes are mandatory in Git bash which is not the case in Windows command prompt only if there are spaces in the target location.
After running the cd command and as shown in the screenshot above, it's obvious that the command changed the current location. I also want something from a private repo, so I must send authentication first. A simple CURL or request won't work, due to authentication problems. You can create an access-token and add it to the curl-request's authentication-header. Open it in raw mode and copy the URL Now use curl command in command line to download the file.

Answers: You can use git For Linux users: Built-in Linux Terminal. Install Git Determine if Git is already installed on your computer by opening a terminal and running this command: git --version If Git is installed, the output is: git version X.
After you install Git, run git --version to confirm that it installed correctly. Configure Git To start using Git from your computer, you must enter your credentials to identify yourself as the author of your work.
The username and email address should match the ones you use in GitLab. In your shell, add your user name: git config --global user. If you omit --global or use --local , the configuration applies only to the current repository.
You can read more on how Git manages configurations in the Git configuration documentation. Choose a repository Before you begin, choose the repository you want to work in. You can use any project you have permission to access on GitLab.
In the top right, select Fork. Choose a namespace for your fork. You can fork any project you have access to. Clone a repository When you clone a repository, the files from the remote repository are downloaded to your computer, and a connection is created. This connection requires you to add credentials. SSH is recommended. Open a terminal and go to the directory where you want to clone the files.
Git automatically creates a folder with the repository name and downloads the files there. Run this command: git clone git gitlab. Run the following command. Convert a local directory into a repository You can initialize a local folder so Git tracks it as a repository. Run this command: git init A. This folder contains Git records and configuration files. You should not edit these files directly. Add the path to your remote repository so Git can upload your files into the correct project.
