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`).
