Installing Git Locally

Installing Git on Windows, macOS and Linux, and the commands that confirm it worked.

To use Git on your local machine, you need to install it first. The installation process varies depending on your operating system:

On Windows: Download the binary from the official Git or GitHub release page and follow the installation instructions.
On macOS (using Homebrew): Run brew install git in your terminal.
On Linux: Run sudo apt-get install git or sudo yum install git depending on your distribution.

Once installed, you can verify the Git version by running git --version in your terminal. This will display the currently installed Git version.
