Git Annex is a powerful tool that allows you to manage files with version control and keep them synchronized across multiple devices. Here's a step-by-step guide to installing Git Annex on Kali Linux.
First, you need to open the Terminal on Kali Linux. You can do this by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T or going to the Applications menu and selecting Terminal.
Make sure that Git is installed on your system. If you don't have it already, you can install it using the following command:
sudo apt install git
You can download the latest version of Git Annex from the official website. Open your browser and go to https://git-annex.branchable.com/install/. Scroll down to find the Debian repositories section and copy the URL for the repository that matches your version of Kali Linux.
Open the Terminal again and paste the copied URL from the previous step into the command below:
sudo sh -c 'echo deb [arch=amd64] https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/apt/ $(lsb_release -cs) main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/git-annex.list'
This will add the Git Annex repository to your system.
Now, update your package list by running the following command:
sudo apt update
Finally, you can install Git Annex by running the following command:
sudo apt install git-annex
After the installation process is completed, you can start using Git Annex to manage your files with version control.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Git Annex on Kali Linux.
