About Git Git is a distributed version control system released to the
public in 2005. The program allows for non-linear development of projects, and
can handle large amounts of data effectively by storing it on the local server. How to Install Git with Apt-Get Installing Git with apt-get is a quick and easy process. The program installs on the virtual private server with one command: sudo apt-get install git-core After it finishes downloading, you will have Git installed and ready to use.How to Install Git from Source If you are eager to download the
most recent version of Git, it is generally a good idea to install it from the
source. sudo apt-get update Prior to installing Git itself, download all of the required dependancies:sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev libexpat1-dev gettext libz-dev libssl-dev build-essential Once they are installed, you can download the latest version of Git from the google code page.wgethttps://git-core.googlecode.com/files/git-1.8.1.2.tar.gz After it downloads, untar the file and switch into that directory:tar -zxf git-1.8.1.2.tar.gz cd git-1.8.1.2 If you want to do a global install, install it once as yourself and once as root, using the sudo prefix:make prefix=/usr/local all sudo make prefix=/usr/local install If you need to update Git in the future, you can use Git itself to do it.git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git How to Setup Git After Git is installed, whether from
apt-get or from the source, you need to copy your username and email in the
gitconfig file. You can access this file at ~/.gitconfig. sudo nano ~/.gitconfig You can use the follow commands to add in the required information.git config --global user.name "NewUser" git config --global user.email newuser@example.com You can see all of your settings with this command:git config --list If you avoid putting in your username and email, git will later attempt to fill it in for you, and you may end up with a message like this:[master 0d9d21d] initial project version Committer: root Your name and email address were configured automatically based on your username and hostname. Please check that they are accurate. You can suppress this message by setting them explicitly: git config --global user.name "Your Name" git config --global user.email you@example.com After doing this, you may fix the identity used for this commit with: git commit --amend --reset-author
