# Installing git

The instructions here are adapted from http://book.git-scm.com/2_installing_git.html

## Debian/Ubuntu

    sudo apt-get install git-core

## Fedora

    sudo yum install git-core

## MacOS X

There are several ways to install git on Mac. The easiest is to simply download the OS X installer (git-osx-installer). If you have MacPorts installed, you can also do:

    sudo port install git-core

If you have Fink installed, you can do:

    sudo apt-get install git

In addition, you may want to use a GUI to manage your git repositories. A good example of a free Mac GUI is GitX. Other (non-free) examples include Tower and SourceTree. GitHub have also recently released GitHub for Mac.

## Windows

Download and install msysGit
