I'm actually not very familiar with how folks who primarily use GfW as their client manage their contributions to the main Git project. However, I know there are plenty - the GfW maintainer is an active contributor upstream. I'm CCing the Git mailing list as well as the GfW maintainer in the hopes that you can get some help from somebody who regularly uses the workflow you're trying to achieve. :) Unfortunately I use Linux everywhere and so I can't try to replicate what you're doing - but once you have a good workflow and are able to finish the My First Contribution tutorial we should still be able to work together. Can you be specific about which "official website" you downloaded Git from (share a URL), and paste the command you run and error message you receive? Please also share the output you see when you run "uname -a" in Git Bash. - Emily On Thu, Oct 3, 2019 at 12:40 PM gespinoz gespinoz wrote: > > Hello, > > Great! Thanks for the tips Emily!

My name is George Espinoza and I am one of the applicants= in the Outreachy internship program. I hope you are doing well! I wanted t= o introduce myself and connect as I am interested in the Git open source pr= oject that you are mentoring. I'm currently creating my work environment an= d tinkering with the git program while doing the myfirstcontribution walk-t= hrough. I have had a bit of experience using git for a school i attended ov= er the summer that used it for clone and pushing repositories. We worked wi= th iTerm and I learned how to use vim as well. I know some basics, in no wa= y a master yet/ I hope to learn more as I progress in making contributions! >> > >> > After I set up my environment I will join the IRC channel and introduc= e myself in the project's public chat and go from there searching how and w= hat I should first contribute.

Thank you. >> > >> > sincerely, >> > George Espinoza
