When I was recently involved in other people's GitHub projects, I learned Git's use, first to register the account and mailbox on the https://github.com/website, then fork an open source project, and then download the latest version of Git under Windows:/HTTP Git-scm.com/download/win or Http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list, Currently the latest version is: Git-1.8.4-preview20130916.exe. Download completed after installation Git-1.8.4-preview20130916.exe,win7 installation method can refer to Chinaunix blogger Baifx blog: Win7 git installation and configuration process.
In addition, Git has a GUI tool software similar to SVN version control: Tortoisegit, for: Tortoisegit.
So what exactly is Git?
Git's definition of Wikipedia: It's a free, distributed version Control tool, or a source code management tool that emphasizes fast. Git was originally developed by Linus Torvalds to manage the development of the Linux kernel. Each git working directory is a completely separate code base with complete history and version tracking capabilities, independent of the network and hub servers. I don't think it's a big advantage to git on servers and networks, which is better than SVN.
For how to configure Git, you can find the method from this article https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git.
