GIT Tutorial: Installation

How to install GIT on Linux, Windows or Mac

On Linux you can compile the system from source or use commands like the following ones:

apt-get git-core

or

yum install git-core

It depends on your distribution.

On Windows the installation is even simpler. You should download the exe file, run it and follow the on-screen instructions. Then you will run GIT through the Windows command line.

The easiest way to install GIT on Mac OS is to use the MacPorts software ( http://www.macports.org) and to run the following command:

sudo port install git-core
