Installing Git Ubuntu OS
|
|
===
|
|
|
|
Git by default is likely already installed in your Ubuntu OS . You can confirm this by launching your terminal and entering following command in to your terminal:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ git --version
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you receive output similar to the following, then Voila! you have readily installed Git on your machine.
|
|
```shell
|
|
Output
|
|
$ git version 2.34.1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If this applies to you, proceed to [set up git](#set-up-git) below.
|
|
|
|
If a Git version number was not on the output as shown above, you can still install it using Ubuntu's APT default package manager.
|
|
|
|
Update your local package index first by using the apt package management tools. Head back to your terminal and enter the following command.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ sudo apt update
|
|
```
|
|
Once this is completed, then enter the following command to install in Git:
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ sudo apt install git
|
|
```
|
|
You can confirm that you have installed Git correctly by running the following command and checking that you receive relevant output.
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ git --version
|
|
```
|
|
```shell
|
|
Output
|
|
$ git version 2.34.1
|
|
```
|
|
With Git successfully installed, you can now proceed below by setting it up.
|
|
|
|
# Set up Git
|
|
Configuration can be achieved by using the git config command.
|
|
Specifically, you need to provide your name and email address because Git embeds this information into each commit you do.
|
|
You can add this information by typing:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now that we are done with installing Git, let us configure it for first time use using "git config" command.
|
|
We need to make sure your username and email address are set correctly. To set them, use the command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
|
|
$ git config --global user.email "youremail@domain.com"
|
|
```
|
|
You can display all the configuration items that have been set by entering the following command in your terminal:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ git config --list
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If all config field have been set up to your need the output should look something like
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
user.name=Your Name
|
|
user.email=youremail@domain.com
|
|
```
|
|
