====== Git - Basic/Initial Setup ======
==== 1. Install Git ====
Most Linux distributions include Git in their package managers. Here's how to install it on common distributions:

**Ubuntu/Debian:**
<code>
  sudo apt update && sudo apt install git -y
</code>

==== 2. Verify Installation ====
Check if Git is installed correctly:
<code>
  git --version
</code>
This should output the installed Git version.

==== 3. Configure Git ====
Set your username and email:
<code>
  git config --global user.name "Your Name"
  git config --global user.email "your_email@example.com"
</code>
Replace `Your Name` and `your_email@example.com` with your actual information.

==== 4. (Optional) Configure Text Editor ====
Specify your preferred text editor for Git:
<code>
  git config --global core.editor "your_editor"
</code>
Replace `your_editor` with your editor's command (e.g., `nano`, `vim`, `emacs`).
