GIT on Windows

If you haven’t installed GIT already you can do it using this link.

https://git-scm.com/downloads

(Make sure you work with the latest version)

Once, GIT has been installed locally, you need to set it up before you can start creating repositories. For that first open the Git Bash (from the Start button).

To Clone a Repository from GitHub:

Go to your repository on GitHub. In the top right above the list of files, open the Clone or download drop-down menu. Copy the URL for cloning over HTTPS.

Then go to the Git Bash and enter the following command in the terminal – git clone repository_url

The working directory should now have a copy of the repository from GitHub. It should contain a directory with the name of the repository, AD-EYE_Core. Change to the directory using this command.

Configure GitHub Identity

Configure your local Git installation to use your GitHub mail and name by entering the following

Make sure to replace “github_username” and “useremail_address” with your own.

The links given below will help you understand the difference between local and global configuration.

Note:- Sometimes a case may arise where you cannot configure your name and mail. In that case use the following command git config --list.

This shows the indentity of the user that will appear with each commit. If it is not the good one, use one of the following two commands git config --edit or git config --global --edit to solve the issue.
