Github and Git - what is needed to work with a git terminal in win7?

Question

I want to cooperate with a team that is using git on their private server. What to I need to push and pull from there server? I got win7, what do I need? I found a download at github and at git.

I would recommend the latest from git-for-windows (which will replace the old msysgit soon, and will include a more recent bash):

• Uncompress PortableGit-2.4.5.1-4th-release-candidate-64-bit.7z.exe anywhere you want
• add C:\path\to\PortableGit-2.4.5.1-4th-release-candidate-64-bit\bin to your %PATH%
• use <PortableGit-2.4.5.1-4th-release-candidate-64-bit>\git-cmd.bat (regular CMD session) or <PortableGit-2.4.5.1-4th-release-candidate-64-bit>\git-bash.bat (shell unix session)

• type:

  git config --global user.name <yourUsername>
  git config --global user.email <yourEmail>
  git config --global core.autocrlf false
  

And you are good to go.
If you have access to that private server, you can clone it (ssh or https url).
