`Install Git <https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git>`_. It is a command-line
(:dfn:`a text interface`) tool that allows tracking the history of changes made to a file and, more
importantly, working on different versions of that file simultaneously. It means you do not need to
worry about overwriting someone elses pending work when making changes.
Verify that the installation directory of Git is included in your system's `PATH` variable.
.. tabs::
.. group-tab:: Linux and macOS
Follow the `guide to update the PATH variable on Linux and macOS
<https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/26059>`_ with the installation path of Git (by default
:file:`/usr/bin/git`).
.. group-tab:: Windows
Follow the `guide to update the PATH variable on Windows
<https://www.howtogeek.com/118594/how-to-edit-your-system-path-for-easy-command-line-access/>`_
with the installation path of Git (by default :file:`C:\\Program Files\\Git`).
