This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Git on Ubuntu Server. Git is a distributed version control system used to manage and track changes in code. Following these steps will ensure that you have Git properly installed and ready to use.
Before installing any software, it's essential to ensure that your system is up-to-date. To achieve this, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
This command will update your system's package list.
After updating your system, you can now install Git by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install git
This command will prompt you to enter your password. Enter the password and hit the Enter key.
The terminal will begin preparing and installing Git. Once the installation process is complete, verify that Git is installed by running the following command:
git --version
This command will return the Git version installed on your system. If Git is installed properly, you will see an output like this:
git version 2.25.1
