Windows git client and GitHub settings

First step: Install Git for Windows

• Msysgit is a Windows version of Git, downloaded from https://git-for-windows.github.io/, and then installed by default.

• Download Link: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/latest

• Then the various next steps are recommended using the default options.

• When the installation is complete, find Git Bash in the Start menu, and you can open the command window to show that the GIT installation was successful!

Step two: Set up a git client

1. Start a Git Bash window first (non-Windows users open the terminal directly). Set up your username and email to tell someone who you are!

git config--global user.name "Your name" git config--global user.email "[Email protected]"

2. Production key pair: Note the operation in Git bash.

2.1. Implementation:

CD ~/.ssh

If you return "... No such file or directory ", stating that no SSH key has been generated, go directly to the 3rd step to produce a new key. Otherwise go to the 2nd step backup!
2.2. If you have already generated it, you need to make a backup:

mkdir key_backup MV id_isa* key_backup

2.3. Generate a new key: (Replace the contents of the quotation marks with your own mailbox)

Ssh-keygen-t rsa-c "[Email protected]"

Direct enter, do not modify the default road strength.

Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again:

Set a passphrase and ask for the passphrase before each remote operation! Busy trouble can be directly enter, not set.

Step Three: Submit the public key on GitHub:

1. Locate the. SSH folder, open the "id_rsa.pub" file with a text editor, copy the contents to the Clipboard

2. Open Https://github.com/settings/ssh, click the Add SSH Key button, paste in to save.
