Introduction
Git is a version control system that is designed to monitor changes to files and manage the history of those changes.
In this guide, you will learn how to install and set up Git on AlmaLinux.
Installation Guide
Let's start with the package update:
dnf -y update
1. Install Git
To install Git, run the following command:
dnf install git -y
To ensure that Git was installed successfully, check the Git version:
git --version
The output will provide you with the installed Git version.
2. Set up Git
You need to provide the correct user information for Git. Run these commands (enter your actual username and email):
git config --global user.name "username"
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
This will help you avoid Git errors in the future.
You can recheck the specified settings by entering:
git config --list
3. Modify Git user data
You can also edit data anytime via a git configuration file.
Enter this command to open it:
vi .gitconfig
If you want, you can modify this data and save changes (press "Esc", then type: wq and click "Enter").
