How To Install git on Kali Linux
In this tutorial we learn how to install git on Kali Linux.
What is git
Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large projects with speed and efficiency; it is used for many high profile open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.
Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools. Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server.
This package provides the git main components with minimal dependencies. Additional functionality, e.g. a graphical user interface and revision tree visualizer, tools for interoperating with other VCS’s, or a web interface, is provided as separate git* packages.
There are three ways to install git on Kali Linux . We can use apt-get , apt and aptitude . In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.
Install git Using apt-get
Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.
After updating apt database, We can install git using apt-get by running the following command:
sudo apt-get -y install git
Install git Using apt
Update apt database with apt using the following command.
After updating apt database, We can install git using apt by running the following command:
Install git Using aptitude
If you want to follow this method, you might need to install aptitude first since aptitude is usually not installed by default on Kali Linux. Update apt database with aptitude using the following command.
