This page contains instructions to use and set up Git for Power Lab.
## Git
Git is a powerful version control tool. Although originally indended for software (for managing the code of the Linux kernel) it is powerful and very useful to manage any text-heavy data.
There are many good tutorials on Git. Please find one and learn how to use git.
## Github
Git is a software tool, and Github.com is a website / repository of code that can be accessed using git. After you learn to use git, you can create a free account on Github.com and practice uploading (pushing) and downloading (pulling) code from repositories.
## Gitea
Gitea is identical to Github - it is a repository that contains code. Github is owned by an external entity and one needs a paid account for certain features (especially for private repositories). On the other hand `gitea.iitdh.ac.in` is run and operated by IIT-DH so all features are available to all IITDH users.
Power lab users should create an account and then request to be added to the ["PEG organisation" within Gitea](https://gitea.iitdh.ac.in/PEG).
Note that IITDH-Gitea uses non-standard ports. See [the instructions in this test repo](https://gitea.iitdh.ac.in/kabhijit/ScratchPost) to test your setup.
