Hi, @aminedev0x01!
You can install the pack https://git-scm.com/downloads
Remember to use the BASH to use the comands, and check what code you need here: https://git-scm.com/docs/git

If will be your first time using the terminal, you need to link with your GitHub account. Exemple:

• git config --global user.name "John Doe"
• git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com

Important codes are those that allow you to navigate through your computer's folders using the terminal

• See where your terminal is:
  pwd

• Change the folder
  cd
  Exemple:
  cd D:/Github/Project_1

• See files and folders(does not include hidden ones):
  ls

• See files and folders(including hidden ones):
  ls -a

• Create new repository:
  git init .

For beginners I recommend to create the repository using the site, before use this basic command to clone:
git clone https://github.com/your_repository

• Commit
  git commit -m "mensagem"

To start, these are the main codes. Once you get used to them, I recommend looking at the documentation for the code of stage/unstage and Branch.
