Step 2: Select Editor & Adjust Path

Follow the prompts in the setup wizard. Most default settings will be fine for general use, but here are some key steps:

• Firstly, the installer will ask which text editor to use for Git. You can choose default (OR Visual Studio Code, Cursor, etc)

• Make sure you choose the option that adds Git to your system PATH (recommended for ease of use in the command line).

• Select the default option (OpenSSL) to allow Git to communicate securely over HTTPS.

• The default choice, “Checkout Windows-style, commit Unix-style line endings,” is ideal for most people working in Windows environments.
   

Step 3: Complete the Installation

After configuring the setup, click "Install" and allow the installation to complete.

 

When complete, Launch Git Bash (installed with Git). In your windows/file explorer search for “Git Bash” and select it.

​

You can also open Git Bash from Cursor: Close the existing terminal if it is open and open a new terminal

Open the terminal by selecting View | Terminal from Cursor's top menu.

​

When Git Bash launches, type the following command:

    git --version
 

It should output the installed git version indicating git has been successfully installed 🎉

From here you’re all set to execute git commands 🚀

​

Before executing any git commands in the terminal, make sure you are in the right project directory.
 

→ By default Cursor will open terminal for you in the project directory.

→ However, if you’re using Git Bash

1. From your File Explorer open your project folder (eg: my-peeps)

2. Inside the project folder, right click (select “More options” if necessary) and select "Git Bash here” (or whichever terminal you wish to use)
