Unlike CVS or Subversion, Git is now in widespread use for its advantage. In this tutorial, I will guide you through the steps to install a GIT server on the Ubuntu environment!
First, let’s open the Ubuntu Terminal and install the Git with the following command:
|
1 |
sudo apt-get install git |

Git supports two commands so that we can easily configure username and email, specifically as follows:
For username:
|
1 |
git config --global user.name "<username>" |
For email:
|
1 |
git config --global user.email "<email>" |
For example, I will configure my username and email as “Khanh” and “huongdanjava.com@gmail.com” as follows:
To test the results, you can use the following statement:
|
1 |
git config --list |
to see the current configuration of the Git..
My current configuration is as follows:
Here you can start creating a Git repository!
If you want to create a Git repository in a folder you want, then create that folder and move to this folder. Then, use the following command to create a Git repository.
|
1 |
git init |
If you want to create a Git repository in the user directory, use the following command:
|
1 |
git init repos |
With this statement, it will give us a Git repository in the repos directory in the user directory.
Here, I need to create a Git repository located in /opt/repos so I would do the following:
Result:
