Microgit is a git-based version control system that enables developers to store code, collaborate with other developers, and track changes made to their codebase. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Microgit on Linux Mint (latest version), so let's get started.
Before we proceed with installing Microgit on your Linux Mint machine, ensure that you have the following installed:
To install Git on Linux Mint, open the terminal, and run the following command:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git
Now that Git is installed, let's clone the Microgit repository to our local machine. To do that, open the terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/microgit-com/microgit.git
This command will download the Microgit repository to your current working directory.
We can now proceed with installing Microgit. To install Microgit, navigate to the cloned repository directory, and run the following command:
sudo python3 setup.py install
This command will install Microgit on your system. If you encounter any errors during the installation process, ensure that you have all the necessary dependencies.
After the installation process is complete, verify that Microgit is running correctly. To verify, run the following command:
microgit --version
This command should display the Microgit version installed on your computer.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Microgit on your Linux Mint machine. Now that you have Microgit installed, you can use it to collaborate with other developers, track changes made to your codebase, and manage your code more efficiently.
