[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 else’s pending work when making changes.
|
||
|
||
Verify that the installation directory of Git is included in your system's `PATH` variable.
|
||
|
||
```{eval-rst}
|
||
.. 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`).
