This is the first in a series of videos designed to describe what Git is, why it is useful, and how to begin working with it. In this video I use the command line approach. To download Git for Windows go to http://msysgit.github.io/ which includes a mini BASH shell for working with Git at the command line. Very cool ! For Apple OS X people please go to http://git-scm.com/download/mac. On Linux get your system administrator to install it for you. You might also check out the various GUIs that are available for git such as https://mac.github.com/ for Mac. also Rstudio now has Git capability built in to it.
