Git is a free and open-source distributed version control system; it outclasses the other version control tools such as SCM Subversion, CVS, Perforce, and ClearCase. Git is used to tracking source code changes, enabling multiple developers to work together on non-linear development. Unlike most client–server systems, every Git directory on every system is a repository with complete history and full version-tracking abilities.
Git is also used in popular platforms for code management and version control, such as Github, Gitlab, Bitbucket, and others. Today we will show you how you can install Git using the apt package manager and how to install git from Source; let’s start.
