1. Install Git

First, you need to install Git on your Ubuntu system. Open the terminal and run the following command:

1
2

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git

2. Verify Git installation

Next, you can verify that Git has been installed correctly by running the following command:

1

git --version

This should print the version of Git you just installed. For example, git version 2.25.1.

3. Set your Git username and email

Before you can start using Git, you need to set your username and email address. You can do this with the following commands, replacing “Your Name” and “youremail@example.com“ with your own information:

1
2

git config --global user.name "My Name"
git config --global user.email "myemail@example.com"

4. Create a new Git repository

To create a new Git repository, navigate to the directory where you want to create it and run the following command:

1

git init

This will initialize a new Git repository in the current directory.

5. Add and commit changes

Now that you have a Git repository, you can start adding and committing changes to it. For example, let’s say you make a change to a file called “index.html”. You can add this change to your Git repository with the following command:

1

git add index.html

This will stage the changes you made to the file. Once you’ve added all the changes you want to commit, you can run the following command to commit them:

1

git commit -m "Add changes to index.html"

This will commit your changes with a message describing what you changed.

6. Push changes to a remote repository

If you want to collaborate with others, you can push your changes to a remote Git repository. For example, let’s say you’ve created a repository on GitHub called “myproject”. You can push your changes to this repository with the following command:

1
2

git remote add origin https://github.com/username/myproject.git
git push -u origin master

This will push your changes to the “master” branch of the “myproject” repository on GitHub.

That’s it! These are the basic steps to install and use Git on Ubuntu. Of course, there are many more advanced features and commands you can use, but this should be enough to get you started.ted.
