This tutorial will cover the initial steps to get GIT installed and configured on your machine.
It is a very good idea to adopt the use of GIT to keep track of your code changes and it will simplify your coding significantly.
First download GIT.
[
https://git-scm.com/downloads ]
Install it.
Once you have Git installed you need to configure it. To configure Git you create a file called `.gitconfig` in your %userprofile% folder.
The bare minimum you need in the `.gitconfig` file is a `name` and an `email`.
[user]
name = John Doe
email = john.doe@emailexchange.com
Now when you are using VS Code you can use the Git interface.
If you use my Lisp project set up script--located in the following thread: [
https://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=55696.0 ]--to set up a lisp project, you shouldn't have to do anything else besides "use git" in your projects. Otherwise you will need to setup a folder and a git repository for each project.
Using the Git interface in VS Code is very easy to use. The attached screen shots will show you the steps. 1. Open the interface. 2. Stage a file. 3. Added a commit message and commit the change.
