Git is a popular, free, and open-source distributed version control system that is widely used to manage source code and other types of content on Linux servers. It provides a powerful set of tools for tracking changes, merging code, and collaborating with others.
To install Git on a Linux server using apt, run the following command: sudo apt install git
Alternatively, to install it using yum, run: sudo yum install git
Once Git is installed, you can create a new repository or clone an existing one using the git init
and git clone
commands, respectively. You can then use Git commands such as git add
, git commit
, and git push
to manage changes to your content.
For more information on how to use Git, including advanced commands and workflows, consult the official documentation or online tutorials.
