• For WSL : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install
  • TLDR : Open PowerShell in administrator mode and run wsl --install .
  • Then restart your machine
• Linux / MacOS: (should already be installed)
  • Linux (Ubuntu/Debian): apt install git
  • MacOS: brew install git (if you have brew installed, IMO you should)

mkdir ~/tmp_git_2026
cd ~/tmp_git_2026
git init
git config --global [user.name](<http://user.name/>) "Vlad Dracula"
git config --global user.email [email protected]
