Git is a popular version control system that is widely used by developers to manage and track changes in their projects. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Git on Windows 11.
Before we get started, make sure you have the following:
The first step is to download the Git installer from the official website. Visit git-scm.com and click on the “Download” button to download the installer.
Once the download is complete, double-click on the downloaded file to launch the Git installer. Follow the prompts and accept the defaults. You may be asked to choose the default text editor and adjust other settings, but you can generally accept the defaults unless you have specific preferences.
During the installation process, you will be asked to select the components you want to install. Leave the default options selected unless you have a specific need to change them.
Once you have selected your options, click the “Next” button to continue.
Next, you will be asked to choose the installation directory. Leave the default location unless you have a specific need to change it.
Finally, click the “Install” button to start the installation process.
The installation process may take some time depending on your system and the options you have selected.
Once the installation is complete, open a command prompt or PowerShell terminal and enter the following command:
git --version
If Git is installed and configured correctly, you should see the version number displayed.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Git on your Windows 11 machine. You can now start using Git to manage your projects and track changes. If you need help getting started with Git, you can find many tutorials and resources online to guide you through the process.
