Terminal

Go to the terminal in your Python development directory and type

git –version

I have previously created a directory called C:\Users\student\Desktop\GIT

In file explorer, I go to this directory and right-click, select Show More Options. then select Open Git GUI here.

I create a repo called 26OCT23. I will use that for all the following exercises.

I now have a graphical summary of my new repo.

Many people will encourage you to use the GIT Bash shell. I will not be using that here.

In File Explorer, I go to View->Show->Hidden Files.

There is a hidden GIT directory!

If I wanted to write code now, in file explorer, I go to this directory and right-click, select Show More Options. then select Open with Code here.
