In this guide, we will go through how to install and configure Git on an Ubuntu 20.04 operating system. Git can be easily installed in your Ubuntu 20.04 operating system with the Ubuntu default package manager APT.

First update your packages repository.

sudo apt update

Install Git using apt

sudo apt install git

Once the installation is complete, you can confirm that you have installed Git correctly by running the following command and checking that you receive correct output.

> git --version

git version 2.25.1

After installation, you need to configure your git so that whenever you commit something in a repository, correct information needs to be pushed.
