Git Installation

Before you start using Git, you need to make sure it is installed on your computer. Here's how to install Git on different operating systems:

# For Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git

# For Fedora
sudo dnf install git

# For CentOS
sudo yum install git

Install Git on macOS

The easiest way to install Git on macOS is using Homebrew:

Or download the installer from the official Git website.

Install Git on Windows

Verify Installation

After installation, verify that Git is installed correctly:

This should output something like: git version 2.39.0
