In this tutorial, we'll go through the steps to install Git on OpenBSD.
Before we can install Git, we need to make sure that OpenBSD is up-to-date. To do this, we'll run the following commands:
$ sudo -s
# sysupgrade -r
This will download the latest version of OpenBSD and install it.
Once OpenBSD is updated, we can install Git. To do this, we'll use the pkg_add
command:
# pkg_add -i git
This will download and install Git on your system.
To verify that Git has been installed correctly, we can run the following command:
$ git --version
This will display the version of Git that has been installed on your system.
Now that Git has been installed, we need to configure it. To do this, we'll set our name and email address:
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
$ git config --global user.email "youremail@example.com"
These settings will be used when you commit changes to a Git repository.
That's it! You now have Git installed on OpenBSD and configured with your name and email address. You can now use Git to manage your projects and collaborate with others.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
