Install Git on a Linux system

Git is a distributed version control system suitable for handling small to very large projects. On Linux systems, we can install Git through the command line.

Step 1: Use the built-in software manager to install

First, you can install git directly with yum in centos, and execute the following command in the terminal:

yum -y install git

Step 2: Check Git

Use the following command to check whether git is installed successfully

git --version

Step 3: Set git environment variables
