Ever since I started signing GitHub commits with SSH keys I’ve made sure to use git v2.35 or later.

A colleague asked me the other day how to get started with GitHub on a Windows machine, and I ended up doing a quick screen share to show him my usual setup. Thinking that it’s likely a common question I’ve put together a quick screencast of installing Git Bash and Atom on Windows, and using […]
