Prerequisites
1. Install git
If you want to learn more about git
, see the git webpage or the git cheat sheet for a quick overview.
Ubuntu
As of January 2009, the latest git
release is 1.6.1. As there are many improvements compared with older releases (notably, a single executable), it is advisable to use this version instead of the ones provided in the Ubuntu release repositories. There is a personal package archive that provides git
1.6.1 backports to all Ubuntu releases since Hardy.
Installation instructions:
- add the following line to
/etc/apt/sources.list
(substitutingUBUNTU_RELEASE_NAME
with the Ubuntu release you are using):deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/smartlounge/ubuntu UBUNTU_RELEASE_NAME main
- install
git
:$ apt-get update $ apt-get install git
- verify that the correct version was installed:
$ git --version git version 1.6.1
