Installing Git on Linux

Git is a distributed version control system widely used for source code management in software development. It allows you to track changes, collaborate with others, and manage code efficiently. This guide explains how to install and configure Git on Linux, with optional integrations for terminals and IDEs.

Details

• Before installing Git, it is a good practice to update the package list:

sudo apt-get update

• Use the following command to install Git:

sudo apt-get install git-all

• You can verify the installation and check the installed version with:

git --version

• the expected output is:

git version 2.X.X

Once the Git library is installed the next step is to install the Integrated Development Environment (IDE). To do it, follow the instructions in the Installing and Configuring Visual Code For Linux wiki page.
