Section A.1 Installing Command-Line Git

We are not going to be much help here, as we are not going to try to cover all the bases. Use your operating system’s package manager or other tools to install command-line git. A good place to start is the download area

of the canonical git site [1], or see the Pro Git book [3, Section 1.5].

You can verify a successful installation with:

rob@lava:~$ git --version
git version 2.5.0

Your version number will likely be different.
