Introduce yourself to Git

You should only have to set this up once per machine when you first start GitKraken.

If you prefer to work at the command line, we refer you to the following link Intro to Git command line

When you open GitKraken the first time it shoud lead you through most of this. If you lose a popup and get lost, you can follow the below.
Open GitKraken.
Go to the preferences (likely the upper right set of lines). The left side are the setup tabs that you can click through.
In General tab, set the project directory. This is the first directory (Repositories) that you set up earlier. Leave everything else as the default.
In the Profiles tab, enter your name and e-mail. It might be helpful to have it be the info you gave GitHub. Also pick an incon…just for kicks. Make sure the ‘Keep my git config updates with my profile info’ is checked.
In the Authentication tab, chose GitHub.com at the top. [More commands needed]
- Connect with GitHub [more detailed commands needed]
- Select to autocreate a key. An SSH-Key is a computer address that tells other computers that you are you and that this piece of software is allowed to access GitHub.
In the Git Flow tab, do nothing. Use the defaults.
In the UI Preferences, choose if you want light text on dark or vice-versa.
Exit Preferences.
