Installation

The Git-SCM Web Site (All Platforms)
If you're on a Mac, you can install Git automatically. To do this, open the Terminal application from spotlight and type git. This will prompt Git to install the rest of the command line tools for Git. This should only take a few minutes. It will ask if you would like to download Xcode, which you can ignore.
GitHub Desktop will install for Windows
