Git is an open-source, freely distributed version control system designed for easy tracking of code changes during the development process. It works perfectly when there are a lot of developers working on the same project on different parts of its functionality. Using Git gives us an option for managing project history, and it acts like a time machine when we need some file from the &#8220;history,&#8221; allowing us to revert it very easily. Git has a distributed architecture, supports branching and merging, provides integrity and security, and enables great collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing Git is a straightforward process that may take from half a minute to a couple of minutes, depending on the method we use. Let&#8217;s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69ee2a9a5349e\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69ee2a9a5349e\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-git-on-ubuntu-26-04\/#Prerequisites\" >Prerequisites<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-git-on-ubuntu-26-04\/#Update-the-System\" >Update the System<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-git-on-ubuntu-26-04\/#Install-Git-from-the-Repository\" >Install Git from the Repository<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-git-on-ubuntu-26-04\/#Install-Git-from-Source\" >Install Git from Source<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-git-on-ubuntu-26-04\/#Git-Commands\" >Git Commands<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-git-on-ubuntu-26-04\/#Wrap-Up\" >Wrap Up<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prerequisites\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prerequisites\"><\/span>Prerequisites<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/ubuntu-hosting\/\">server running Ubuntu 26.04<\/a> OS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>User privileges: root or non-root user with sudo privileges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-update-the-system\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Update-the-System\"><\/span>Update the System<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we install Git, we will update the system packages to their latest versions. Execute the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt update -y &amp;&amp; apt upgrade -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-install-git-from-the-repository\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Install-Git-from-the-Repository\"><\/span>Install Git from the Repository<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Git is included by default in the latest Ubuntu 26.04 repository. Installing Git from a repository is the fastest and easiest way. To install Git, execute the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt install git -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once installed, check the Git version with the command below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">git -v<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should get the following output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">root@test.vps:~# git -v\ngit version 2.51.0\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The Git version in the official Ubuntu 26.04 repo is 2.51.0, but it is not the latest version. The latest Git version is <strong>2.52.0<\/strong>, which we will install from source in the next heading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-install-git-from-source\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Install-Git-from-Source\"><\/span>Install Git from Source<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary reasons we install packages from source on Linux are access to the latest software versions, customization and configuration options, performance optimizations during code compilation, and security considerations. In our case, now we need the latest version of Git, and first we need to remove (purge) the currently installed Git version if there is any:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt purge git* -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we download the source code, we need to install some prerequisites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt install build-essential libssl-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libexpat1-dev gettext cmake gcc unzip curl autoconf -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once installed, we need to download the latest Git version:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">cd \/opt &amp;&amp; curl -L https:\/\/mirrors.edge.kernel.org\/pub\/software\/scm\/git\/git-2.52.0.tar.gz -o git.tar.gz<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Unzip the compressed git file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">tar -zxf git.tar.gz<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once exctracted go into the extracted git directory:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">cd git-2.52.0\/\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Next is to compile Git. Execute the following commands one-by-one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">make configure\n\n.\/configure --prefix=\/usr\/local\n\nmake all\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the code is compiled, we can install it with the command below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">make install<br><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>After the installation is complete, to ensure your shell uses the newly installed Git version, make a symbolic link with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">ln -s \/usr\/local\/bin\/git \/usr\/bin\/git<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>After creating the link, you can check the version:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">git -v<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should get the following output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">root@test.vps:~# git -v\ngit version 2.52.0\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Now the system is using Git version <strong>2.52.0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-git-commands\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Git-Commands\"><\/span>Git Commands<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a list of the most used Git commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">1. git init \u2013 Initialize a new Git repository in the current directory.\n\n<strong>git init .<\/strong>\n\n2. git clone \u2013 Copy a remote repository locally.\n\n<strong>git clone https:\/\/github.com\/user\/repo.git<\/strong>\n\n3. git status \u2013 Show the state of changes in your working directory and staging area.\n\n<strong>git status<\/strong>\n\n4. git add \u2013 Stage file changes for the next commit.\n\n<strong> git add file.txt<\/strong>\n\n5. git commit \u2013 Record staged changes with a message.\n\n<strong>git commit -m \"Describe what you changed\"<\/strong>\n\n6. git push \u2013 Send your committed changes to a remote repository.\n\n<strong>git push origin master<\/strong>\n\n7. git pull \u2013 Fetch updates from a remote repository and merge them locally.\n\n<strong>git pull origin master<\/strong>\n\n8. git branch \u2013 List, create, or delete branches.\n\ngit branch development\n\n9. git checkout \u2013 Switch branches (or restore files).\n\n<strong>git checkout development<\/strong>\n\n10. git merge \u2013 Merge another branch into your current branch.\n\n<strong>git merge development<\/strong>\n\n11. git log \u2013 View commit history.\n\n<strong>git log<\/strong>    \n\n12. git diff \u2013 Show changes between commits, branches, or working directory and staging area.\n\n<strong>git diff<\/strong>\n\n13. git remote \u2013 Manage remote connections.\n\n<strong>git remote add origin https:\/\/github.com\/user\/repo.git<\/strong>\n\n14. git fetch \u2013 Retrieve updates from remote without merging.\n\n<strong>git fetch<\/strong>\n\n15. git stash \u2013 Temporarily save changes without committing.\n\n<strong>git stash<\/strong>\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>These commands cover the core of typical Git workflows \u2014 from starting a repo and making commits to collaborating via remote services like GitHub or GitLab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wrap-up\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrap-Up\"><\/span>Wrap Up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s it.
