How to install git in nodejs

NodeJS is a platform built on the Chrome JavaScript runtime for quickly building high-performance, scalable web applications. Git is one of the most popular version control tools today, which facilitates developers to carry out version iteration and collaborative development. This article will introduce how to install Git tools in NodeJS environment.

1. NodeJS environment

Before installing Git, you first need to confirm that NodeJS has been installed on your computer. If you don't have NodeJS installed yet, follow the steps below to install it.

First, visit the NodeJS official website (https://nodejs.org/) and download the latest version of the NodeJS installation file.

After the download is completed, run the downloaded installation file and follow the instructions to complete the NodeJS installation process. During the installation process, you can choose whether to add NodeJS to the system environment variables. If you select this option, you can use NodeJS commands anywhere.

2. Check whether Git has been installed

In the NodeJS environment, we can check whether Git has been installed through the command line. Under Windows systems, we can use cmd or PowerShell; under Linux and macOS systems, we can use the terminal.

Open the command line or terminal and enter the following command:

git --version

If Git has been installed, the Git version number will be returned; otherwise, you will be prompted to download and install Git.

3. Install Git tools

If Git is not installed on your computer, then we need to install it. Under Windows systems, you can visit the Git official website (https://git-scm.com/downloads) to download the latest version of Git installation file and install it.

Under Linux and macOS systems, you can use the following command to install:

• Ubuntu/Debian system

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git

• CentOS/RHEL System

sudo yum install git

• macOS system

brew install git

After the installation is complete, you can check whether Git has been successfully installed by entering the following command:

git --version

If the installation is successful, the Git version number will be output.

4. Configuring Git

After the installation is complete, we need to perform some simple configurations to make the Git tool work better. Open the command line or terminal and enter the following command:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "youremail@example.com"

Here you need to replace "Your Name" and "youremail@example.com" with your own username and email address.

5. Verify whether the configuration information is effective

In order to verify whether the configuration information is effective, we can try to perform some Git operations. For example, we can create a new GitHub repository, create a corresponding repository locally, and then connect it.

First, create a new warehouse on GitHub and get the warehouse address. Then, select a folder locally as a Git repository, open the command line or terminal, and enter the following command:

cd your-repository-folder
git init
git remote add origin git@github.com:your-username/your-repository.git

Here you need to change "your-repository-folder" and "your-username/your-repository.git ” with your own warehouse address. If the connection is successful, the following information will be output:

Add remote: git@github.com:your-username/your-repository.git

Now, you have successfully installed and configured the Git tool. If you need to learn more about how to use Git, you can refer to the official documentation (https://git-scm.com/docs).
