I assume you already know what Version control is, if you don’t, kindly check out this slide to learn more. In this article, I’ll show you how to install Git, set it up for the first time, useful tips and resources to learn more/ learn advanced git concepts. Git also works well on a wide range of operating systems and IDEs (Integrated Development Environments). Unlike older centralized version control systems such as SVN and CVS, Git is distributed: every developer has the full history of their code repository locally. Git is a distributed and actively maintained open source project originally developed in 2005 by Linus Torvalds, the famous creator of the Linux operating system kernel. You can navigate to and click the download button for the installer package that looks like the following image as of, showcasing git version 2.15.1.Git is a Free and Open Source Distributed Version Control System.īy far, Git is the most widely used modern version control system in the world today.

If you are running on a different system, please walk through these instructions and tell me in the comments which stage you get stuck on so I can address any issues. These instructions will most likely work on any recent version of OSX, but let me know if you run into issues. This post is going to be platform dependent, so depending on whether you are a Mac, Linux or a PC user, these instructions may be a bit different.įor now, I’m going to go through the installation instructions for Mac OSX 10.13.2 running High Sierra.
Remember git is a program that is most commonly used on your laptop or desktop, it is not a program for a mobile phone or tablet. So that is what we are going to do in this post. However, I haven’t actually told you how to install it on your computer. In the first few posts in this series, I have introduced the git software tool and why you should use it when you develop software.
