Setup Git and GitHub

GitHub will be used for publishing all projects

    • Windows Installation Note: Keep all settings as default during installation
    • Mac Installation
      Note: Mac users can install git using homebrew by running brew install git in the terminal. You will need to install homebrew first if you don’t have it
  2. Create a GitHub Account with your BYUI-I email.
    • Use an appropriate username. It will be the name of your public profile and website in Project 6.
    • If you already have a GitHub account, you can add your BYUI-I email to your existing account. Go to Settings -> Emails -> Add email address and make it your primary email.
