In Windows, we are used to right click into our folder and open With GitBash. Let’s do something similar in macOs
Go to Finder (it’s in the Dock), open Documents, create new folder, let’s say “MyRepos”, Ctrol+Click the folder and New terminal at Folder.
In the terminal, continue doing what you already know…
git init
git add …
git commit …
Blah blah
The best option to install GIT in Mac is thru Homebrew. So, you should install it first
Open launchpad, search by “terminal”
Run this command:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
(Visit the official website to get the news: https://brew.sh)
All you need to do is to wait and read the console. The console will ask you to do something (copy a command, past it and run it)
Now you are ready to install GIT thru this command:
brew install git (Visit the official website to get the news: https://git-scm.com/download/mac)
Run git —version to confirm you already have git installed
Unlike Windows, you will not get a new terminal
Now you have GIT, next step is to configure GIT
In the same terminal, run this:
git config —global user.name “your-username”
git config —global user.email “your-email”
You can see your configuration running this:
git config —list
Voila
