In this lesson we take a look at the methods available to install Git on different operating systems including Windows, OS X, and Linux and how to ensure that you're environment is properly setup to start using Git. Then we walk through the installation on OS X and finally we'll cover how to invoke Git from the command line and set some basic configuration options like telling Git who we are. If you would like to see Git installed on Windows, you can take a look at our Drupal Ladder: Install Git lesson. Learning objectives:
