Installing git
===============
The instructions here are adapted from http://book.git-scm.com/2_installing_git.html
Debian/Ubuntu
-------------
::
sudo apt-get install git-core
Fedora
------
::
sudo yum install git-core
MacOS X
-------
There are several ways to install git on Mac. The easiest is to simply download the OS X installer (git-osx-installer_). If you have MacPorts installed, you can also do::
sudo port install git-core
If you have Fink installed, you can do::
sudo apt-get install git
In addition, you may want to use a GUI to manage your git repositories. A good example of a free Mac GUI is `GitX `_. Other (non-free) examples include `Tower `_ and `SourceTree `_. GitHub have also recently released `GitHub for Mac `_.
Windows

Download and install msysGit_
