## Create directory for our repositories
I would highly recommend to create a folder where you want to store your GIT repositories. </br>
This may be in your USER, HOME folder, or you could create it on `C:\` if you are using Windows. </br>
This is entirely up to you.
Windows:
```
cd C:\
mkdir gitrepos
```
Linux:
```
mkdir ~/gitrepos
```
## Configure GIT
We firstly have to tell GIT who we are. </br>
For this we set a username and an email. </br>
This is very important especially when we are planning to host our repository on Github or another source control provider </br>
Remember the command `git help -a` which shows us all the available commands ? </br>
Remember the command option `-h` which shows us all the available options and help text for a command? </br>
The one we want to start off with is `git config` </br>
note: `git config -a` Also has a `-a` to view all options </br>
note: `git config -h` Has help texts that describes how we can use the command </br>
We can configure GIT either globally, so which account to use for all repositories by using the `--global` flag, or only for a single repository by using the `--local` flag :
