Today I am going to share some most simple and easy steps how to use git . 

How we can get a git repository data on our Personal computer 
How to make changes to these files and then how to propose that merging of files to repository from where you have downloaded it 
How to deal or remove some every basic errors that came during this process

So lets start --

                             https://github.com/mono/webiste
Ths repository is repository of official website of Mono https://www.mono-project.com/ 

  • First of the the thing you must have is gitbash . You can Download and setup gitbash from  here :-
1.  Download Git for Windows here:
I downloaded Git-1.7.6-preview20110708.exe. It contains the  full installer for official Git 1.7.6
2.  Follow the instructions here exactly as it says.
