+# Git Installation
+Before working on Git repositories it is advised to get a good knowledge of Git. Git is an open source version control system. It is easy to learn and has very fast performance irrespective of the system.
+
+## Steps to install Git
+
+1. Download and install [Git](https://git-scm.com/) for your system.
+2. After installation open a terminal in your system and write **git** to check proper installation.
+<br>
+If it returns something like this below then congrats. *Git has been installed*.

+
+## Set up Git credentials
+
+1. In the terminal/shell type:
+
+```bash
+git config --global user.name "Your name here"
+git config --global user.email "your_email@example.com"
+```
+These will configure the git to set your name and email as default.
+
+You can also add(optional):
+
+```bash
+git config --global color.ui true
+git config --global core.editor emacs 
+```
+
+The first command is to enable colors in the terminal which are used to better understand the current state of the code.
+
+The second command is to change the default text editor to emacs. You can change "emacs" to any other text editor desired.
