Most Linux distributions include Git in their package managers. Here's how to install it on common distributions:

Ubuntu/Debian:

  sudo apt update && sudo apt install git -y

Check if Git is installed correctly:

  git --version

This should output the installed Git version.

Set your username and email:

  git config --global user.name "Your Name"
  git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

Replace `Your Name` and `[email protected]` with your actual information.

Specify your preferred text editor for Git:

  git config --global core.editor "your_editor"

Replace `your_editor` with your editor's command (e.g., `nano`, `vim`, `emacs`).
