# Installing Git
|
|
|
|
In order for you to be able to use Git on your local machine, you would need to install it.
|
|
|
|
Depending on the operating system that you are using, you can follow the steps here.
|
|
|
|
### Install Git on Linux
|
|
|
|
With most Linux distributions, the Git command-line tool comes installed out of the box.
|
|
|
|
If this is not the case for you, you can install Git with the following command:
|
|
|
|
* On RHEL Linux:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo dnf install git-all
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* On Debian based distributions including Ubuntu:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt install git-all
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Install Git on Mac
|
|
|
|
If you are using Mac, Git should be available out of the box as well. However, if this is not the case, there are 2 main ways of installing Git on your Mac:
|
|
|
|
* Using Homebrew: in case that you are using Homebrew, you can open your terminal and run the following:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew install git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Git installer: Alternatively, you could use the following installer:
|
|
|
|
[git-osx-installer](https://sourceforge.net/projects/git-osx-installer/)
|
|
|
|
I would personally stick to Homebrew.
|
|
|
|
### Install Git on Windows
|
|
|
|
If you have a Windows PC, you can follow the steps on how to install Git on Windows here:
|
|
|
|
[Install Git on Windows](https://git-scm.com/download/win)
|
|
|
|
During the installation, make sure to choose the Git Bash option, as this would provide you with a Git Bash terminal which you will use while following along.
|
|
|
|
### Check Git version
|
|
|
|
Once you have installed Git, in order to check the version of Git that you have installed on your machine, you could use the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git --version
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example output:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git version 2.25.1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In my case, I have Git 2.25.1 installed on my laptop. |
