# Windows

I mostly do code development in Linux, but I'll run through some Windows examples here.

## Security Changes 

There was a change made to the way security works a few versions of GitHub back. I do not want to get into SSH keys, Tokens etc. for now. When you are installing GitHub, install *Credentials Manager*, it is one of the final options. When you are authenticating to a repo, this will prompt you for credentials via the web browser. Make a mental note: down the line, you will be using SSH keys for most of your sync with GitHub, but there is only so much we can pack in for now.
