Lesson 03 of 7 · GitHub and Git

GitHub: where the kit lives.

The kit lives on GitHub. Let's get a copy onto your PC, in a place where nothing will fight over the files.

with Elizabeth Cecilia. About 10 minutes.

GitHub is the shelf. Git is the trolley.

GitHub is a website that stores projects. The kit is in a public repository, so anyone can read and download it without an account: github.com/SenrabZil/conducting-the-agent-kit. A free account only matters if you want to keep your own copy online.

Git is a program on your PC. It copies the repository down, keeps a history of every change, and fetches updates later. Claude Code relies on that history: every edit it makes can be seen and undone.

Which one lets you fetch updates later with a single command?

Get Git, then get the kit

Install Git for Windows

Open PowerShell (Win then type PowerShell) and run:

PS> winget install --id Git.Git -e --source winget

Close PowerShell, open a new window so it sees the new program, and check:

PS> git --version git version 2.x.x.windows.x

No winget? Download the installer from git-scm.com/downloads/win and accept the defaults.

Clone the kit

PS> git clone https://github.com/SenrabZil/conducting-the-agent-kit.git C:\conducting-the-agent-kit

Later, to fetch updates:

PS> cd C:\conducting-the-agent-kit; git pull

Or: download a ZIP

On the repository page, select Code > Download ZIP. Then right-click the ZIP in File Explorer and choose Extract All. Desktop can't open files while they're still inside a ZIP.

Just the report file

The ready-made sample.pbix is attached to a release: on the repository page, open Releases on the right and download it from Assets.

Not in a synced folder. Keep the kit somewhere like C:\conducting-the-agent-kit, outside OneDrive or Google Drive. Desktop can't save a project straight to OneDrive or SharePoint, and sync tools can lock files mid-save.

ZIP or clone?
