## Using a GUI
You can use any GUI for git, the ones we use are Fork and Sourcetree

## Set up git
Set up your git info
```shell
*** Please tell me who you are.
Run
git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.
```
If you want to save your https credentials run
```shell
git config --global credential.helper store
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.
