# How to Git started

## Using a GUI
You can use any GUI for git, the ones we use are Fork and Sourcetree  
You can download these at https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/ and https://git-fork.com/

For other GUIs check out https://git-scm.com/downloads/guis/


## 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.
```
Or you can add an SSH key

## Saving changes

unstage by using
```shell
use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage
```

Track remote branch

git checkout --track origin/<branch>
```
