Setup Guide (Part two)

Install the very nice to have tools for promptfoo evaluations.

Git

Following the git / source control management guide for VSCode, do:

Download and install:

1. Go to https://git-scm.com/download/win
2. Download and run the installer
3. Use default settings

Configure Git (in terminal):

Git needs to know who you are. In the VSCode terminal:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "your.email@example.com"

Verify installation:

git --version

Verify VSCode Detects Git

1. Open VSCode
2. Click the Source Control icon (branch symbol) on the left sidebar
3. You should see “Git” at the top
4. If you see “Git not found”, restart VSCode

Test Git Integration

1. Create a new file in VSCode (e.g., test.txt)
2. Add some text and save
3. Open Source Control panel (Ctrl+Shift+G)
4. You should see test.txt under “Untracked Files”

This confirms Git is working in VSCode!
