How to Install git in google compute engine?

Question

I have a setup of a Linux VM instance in GCP.I have to configure git. How to do it? Does it present in the system?

If installed, how can I check?

Answer 1

Here GCP will only provide you with the virtual machine, you need to install the tools separately. But some of the libraries and tools come with the Boot disc.

But for git use the below commands, that will work for you.

which git //checks version

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install git

sudo git init //for initializing
