Add clearer Git install instructions

Open wdconinc opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

As discussed in #781 the instructions are dominated by the instructions for preparing a directory, to the point that the instructions for installing the Git command are easily overlooked. This PR gives additional visual weight to the Git command installation, adds headers, while maintaining reference to the central instructions.

Potential for improvement:

  • The three OS-specific links are identical. Deep-linking to the OS-specific git-windows, git-macos, and git-linux anchors only works when those are opened by default, so really only for git-windows. Furthermore, those deep links jump to the content of the box with OS-specific instructions, so the Git header and preamble in that section are not visible anymore. Ideally, #git-macos would open the menu on MacOS instructions but still link to the #git anchor. Not sure that's possible.
