Installing necessary tooling for the Git training
To follow the training, Git and supporting tooling needs to be installed and configured on your system. Please do this before attending the training.
I've created a script that will do this for you. The script will:
- Ask for your name and email address
- Download and install Git for Windows, Notepad++ and the Perforce Merge Tool
- Configure Git
- Add Git to your PATH environment variable
You can study the script to see that it does nothing malicious.
How to run the script:
-
The script can be downloaded here.
Click on the 'download raw' button to download the script. Windows might warn that this could be a harmful file, simply override the warning.
-
Open an elevated command prompt (cmd.exe, run as administrator) and go to the folder where the script is stored. This will probably be your downloads folder.
-
Run the script by typing
configure_training.cmdand press enter.
Done! You can close the command prompt.
