## Goal
|
|
Install Git on Ubuntu 24.04 and configure your identity and defaults.
|
|
|
|
## Install Git (Ubuntu 24.04)
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt update
|
|
sudo apt install -y git

|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configure Identity (Required)
|

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
|
|
git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
|
|
git config --global --list
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Recommended Defaults
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Default branch name for new repos
|
|
git config --global init.defaultBranch main
|
|
|
|
# Safer line endings for cross-platform projects
|
|
git config --global core.autocrlf input
|
|
|
|
# Colorized output
|
|
git config --global color.ui auto
|
|
|
|
# Preferred editor (choose one you use)
|
|
git config --global core.editor nano
|
|
# git config --global core.editor "code --wait"
|
|
# git config --global core.editor vim
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Verify Configuration

|
```bash
|
|
git config --global --list
|
