I wanted a set of instructions for my colleagues and friends when they want to setup Git and TortoiseGit on Windows (connected to Bitbucket). There are some steps that I have to Google myself too every time, because I don’t install Git & TortoiseGit everyday.
Okay, so this post is going to be a bare-bones, step by step guide for me or anyone (No backgrounds, theories and other noise)
Basics:
- Git – is a free and open source distributed version control system.
- TortoiseGit – is a Git client (GUI interface).
- Bitbucket – is a web-based project hosting service (supports Git and Mercurial)
Assumptions:
- You already have a Bitbucket account. If not, you can create one here.
- I’m installing this on Windows 7 – 64bit. I assume you can adapt to minor differences in your flavor of Windows.
– just kidding.
Got startled and woke up to the wild vibration and tone of my mobile phone’s alarm at 5am in the morning, stumbling in the darkness and quickly stopping the alarm, I notice 3 new text messages. Relaxing again, resting my head on the pillow, I assume they would be just some facebook alerts.
