How to install git on Ubuntu

Recommended Ubuntu book

As I finished installing svn server, I was given and advice to use git instead. So I started to look into it and decided to give it a try. This post is a start of a process.

You need git first. So, lets start installing it. Open the terminal and type:


sudo apt-get install git-core

Thats’s it. Short and up to the point. You can now check the version to make sure it is installed:


git --version

At the time of writing I have 1.7.1.4 🙂

In case you need a server, move on to the next point – installing gitosis on Ubuntu.
