1.8K

I found my self needing git to pull down scripts for ansible. Thus this is how to configure git on Centos 7.

 

1. # yum install git -y

2. git --version

3. You should see a version like this. Install Done!

 

1. Next lets configure it!

2. # git config --global user.name "Your Name"

3. # git config –global user.email “[email protected]“
4.  # git config –list
5. You should see the following, and we are done!

1. Lets create a new location for our git repository
2. mkdir /git
3. cd /git
4. git init
5. now lets pull down a configure we want to use.
6. the command git clone (URL) clones a entire repository down to your server or workstation.
7. Enjoy!
