This guide outlines the steps to install Git on a CentOS cloud server. Git is a version control software used for tracking changes in software versions and source code. It enables creating code branches and reverting code to previous versions. Before installing Git, ensure you have a CentOS 7 cloud server set up by default.

Execute the following commands to install Git:

yum install git

Verify the Git version.

git --version

Set your name and email address

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "user@exmample.com"

Check Git configurations

git config --list

A possible output could resemble the following.

user.name=Your name
user.email=user@example.com

For further details, refer to the official Git documentation.
