Here we install and do the most basic setup for git . First, install git from the Ubuntu repository:
$ sudo apt-get install gitNext, tell git about yourself (make sure to use your real name and email):
$ git config --global color.ui true
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
$ git config --global user.email "your.name@email.com"
That's it, you're ready to go. Also, checkout this nice
git reference [doesn't seem to exist anymore...].
