Activity: Install Git, Git Bash and curl

1. Stage 1: Install Git.
   1. Go to the Git download page and download Git for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
   2. Run the installer and follow the installation wizard.
   3. Git Bash is included with the standard Git for Windows installer. After installation, you can open “Git Bash” from your Start menu (Windows). On macOS and Linux, use the Terminal app, which already works the same way.
   4. New to Git Bash? These are the commands you will use most:

      pwd                  # show the folder you are in
      ls                   # list files
      cd folder            # enter a folder (cd .. goes up one level)
      mkdir folder         # create a folder
      git status           # see changed files
      git clone <url>      # copy a repo from GitHub

      Git is the version control engine; Git Bash is the command-line window you use to talk to it on Windows.
2. Stage 2: Verify curl.
   1. Windows: curl is included by default in recent versions of Windows 10/11. You can also use the version bundled with Git Bash.
   2. macOS/Linux: curl is usually pre-installed. If not, install it with your package manager: on macOS, brew install curl; on Linux, sudo apt install curl.
   3. For more information, see the curl download page.
3. Stage 3: Test your installation.
   1. Open Git Bash (Windows) or Terminal (macOS/Linux).
   2. Test Git by running:

      git --version

   3. Test curl by running:

      curl --version

   4. Both commands should display version information. If either says command not found, close and reopen the window and try again; if it still fails, re-run that installer.
4. Take one screenshot showing the output of both git --version and curl --version, and paste it into the Canvas text submission box.
