How to install Git on Linux and Windows systems

In the development process using Golang, Git is an indispensable part as a version control tool. However, if you don't know how to install Git, you won't be able to use some important Git commands.

Here is a simple guide to teach you how to install Git on Linux and Windows systems.

1. Installing Git on Linux

For Linux, there are many ways to install Git. If you are using an Ubuntu or Debian system, you can install it with the following command:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install git

If you are using a Red Hat-based system (such as Fedora and CentOS), you can install it with the following command:

$ sudo yum install git

For other Linux distributions, please use the corresponding package manager to install Git.

2. Installing Git on Windows

For Windows systems, you need to download the Windows version installer of Git. You can download the latest version of the installer from Git's official website (https://git-scm.com/).

The installer does not require configuration, just follow the wizard. After the installation is complete, you need to configure Git in the command line terminal. Open the Git Bash terminal and enter the following command:

$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
$ git config --global user.email "your_email@example.com"

After the configuration is completed, you can use Git commands.

3. Verify Git installation

After completing the installation, you need to verify whether Git has been successfully installed. You can execute the following command in the command line terminal:

$ git --version

If version information similar to "git version 2.17.1" is output, it means that Git has been successfully installed.

Summary

If you are using Golang for development, then you must know how to install Git. In this article, we introduce how to install Git on Linux and Windows systems and ensure Git installation through Git version verification. I hope this article can help you start using Git and better manage the corresponding code.
