In this article, we will learn How to install Git Repository in Ubuntu 18.04. Git is an open source and most popular VCS for that version control system. Now you must be wondering what is the VCS control system (VCS). VCS is primarily useful for software developers. When a developer develops a software, he can store the software with the source code in the GIT repository. You can make a duplicate copy of the archived software to make changes to the source code over time. The advantage of the Git repository is that if you make a mistake on the source code during editing, it will not affect your live software and you can correct the mistake by comparing it to the previously released source code.
Git is a software repository also called Git repository. All developers store their projects in the Git repository. Git was initially developed by using various programming languages, Python, Pearl, Shell, C for Linux kernel development and was released in 2005 under the GNU GPLv2 license. It is a cross-platform application that is available for major systems i.e. Linux, Microsoft. Windows, mac os Git is available for both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
