## Initializing Git
Initializing Git in Bruno is the first step towards managing your API collections with version control. It's easy and quick to set up. Follow the steps below to initialize Git.
1. Launch the **Bruno app**.
2. Navigate to the collection you want to initialize with Git.
3. Click on the **Git Icon** in the top-right corner of the navbar.
4. Click the **Initialize** button to set up your collection with Git.
This allows you to perform other Git operations such as adding, committing, pushing, pulling changes, and more.
## Connecting to Remote Repository
Once you have initialized your collection, the next step is to connect it to a remote Git repository.
You can directly connect to remote repository from Bruno using Git GUI feature.
To connect Bruno to GitHub, you need to set up either an SSH key or a Personal Access Token (PAT) on GitHub. Follow this [official GitHub guide ↗](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/managing-your-personal-access-tokens) to set it up.
1. Create empty Git repository on your GitHub.
2. Open **Git initialized** Bruno collection.
3. Click on **Quick Links** (bottom-left corner).
4. Select **Remotes** from the dropdown.
5. Click on **Add Remote** button.
6. Enter **Remote Name** and **URL** (Https or SSH) and click on save.
After completing the above steps, your collection will be connected to GitHub. We have to **add and commit** (see below) some changes to pushed collection to GitHub.
Once your collection is connected to the remote repository, you can manage it directly from the Bruno app.
