Installing Git on windows

The following will guide you roughly through getting git setup on windows and getting a github account setup, so that you can start using git right away ;)


Install MSysGit
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list

Generate a private/public key pair
http://help.github.com/msysgit-key-setup/

Then create your online repository:
Go to https://github.com, sign up for an account


Add your public key to your github account:
Click "account settings" => "SSH public keys" => "Add another public key", and copy and paste the public key you generated (the whole thing) - from the "id_rsa.pub" file.

Create your repository
Click on "dashboard" => "Create a repository" => name your repository, and continue => follow the instructions shown :)
