Procedure
Install Git and configure user identity plus SSH
Install Git for your OS, set user.name and user.email, generate an Ed25519 SSH key and add it to the agent and your Git host, then verify with git --version.
Step 1
Install Git from https://git-scm.com/downloads . Windows: winget install --id Git.Git -e . macOS: brew install git (or Xcode CLT). Linux: apt/dnf/pacman install git (elevated as needed).
Step 2
Configure identity: git config --global user.name "Your Name" and git config --global user.email "you@example.com" (use your real name and the email for your Git host).
Step 3
Per https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent : ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "you@example.com" , start the agent (eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" on Unix), ssh-add the private key, then add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub to GitHub/GitLab (Settings → SSH keys).
Step 4
git --version
