Installing Git on CentOS 7: A Step-by-Step Guide

Git is a popular version control tool that helps developers maintain and sync versions of files, directories, or code between team members. In this tutorial, we will walk you through installing Git on CentOS 7 and integrating it with GitHub.

Method 1: Using YUM Package Manager

The simplest way to install Git is using CentOS's own YUM package manager. You won't need any prerequisites for this installation, which is convenient.

To begin, use the following command:

```

sudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'

```

This will download and install all the necessary development tools on your system.

Once you've completed this step, you can proceed to install Git using the following command:

```

sudo yum install git

```

Hit 'y' when prompted to confirm the installation. The installation will handle itself automatically.

Method 2: Using RepoForge Repository

Alternatively, you can use the RepoForge repository (formerly RPMForge) to install Git. To do this, follow these steps:

First, add the RepoForge repository to your system by downloading and installing the appropriate package for your distro.

```

sudo yum install repoforge

```

Next, enable the repository:

```

sudo nano /etc/yum.repos.d.repoForge.repo

```

Find the `'repoForge'` section and set `enabled=1`.

Finally, run the following command to update and install Git:

```

sudo yum install git

```

Updating and Integrating with GitHub

Once you've installed Git, you can check its version using the following command:

```

git --version

```

This will display the current version of Git on your system.

To integrate Git with GitHub, follow these steps:

First, create a new repository on GitHub.

Next, clone the repository to your local machine using the following command:

```

git clone

```

Make any changes you need to make to the files in the repository.

Finally, commit and push your changes using the following commands:

```

git add .

git commit -m 'Initial Commit'

git push origin master

```

That's it! You've successfully installed Git on CentOS 7 and integrated it with GitHub.
