1
00:00:06,470 --> 00:00:11,630
So throughout this course, I'll be using a Mac for development, and one of the things that you're

2
00:00:11,630 --> 00:00:17,650
going to notice is that the terminal on the Mac is different, different than the terminal on windows.

3
00:00:18,110 --> 00:00:23,120
So, for example, if I open up a command prompt here, so I'll just open a command prompt.

4
00:00:24,530 --> 00:00:32,090
And I want to list files on windows, it's dark and on on on a Mac and on Linux it's El's and the last

5
00:00:32,090 --> 00:00:34,130
command doesn't work here in the same way.

6
00:00:34,130 --> 00:00:38,030
If I want to copy a file on Windows, it's copy from source to destination.

7
00:00:38,450 --> 00:00:41,590
But on Linux it's CP and on Mac it's S.P..

8
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:49,130
So if you want to have your terminal be the same as mine, you can go to get for Windows Dawg and click

9
00:00:49,130 --> 00:00:53,090
download and it will download Git and it will also download Git Bash.

10
00:00:53,420 --> 00:00:55,800
So you download that and install it if you want to.

11
00:00:55,820 --> 00:01:02,160
This is certainly not required and what you'll get is here's a command prompt and get back.

12
00:01:02,180 --> 00:01:03,080
Looks like this.

13
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:10,460
And if I start that up, all of the commands that I type allows, for example, work and I can copy

14
00:01:10,460 --> 00:01:11,730
from one directory to another.

15
00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:16,820
So if you want to have your terminal be the same as it is for me, as I'm running through this course

16
00:01:16,820 --> 00:01:22,190
and you happen to be on a Windows machine, you can just download git bash as part of that, get for

17
00:01:22,190 --> 00:01:27,770
Windows website and install that and use that terminal instead of the default Windows terminal.

18
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,830
It's entirely up to you, but it might make things simpler for you.
