1.2. Installing Git for managing application versions

To manage application versions in multi-developer projects, use Git, a distributed version control system included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Procedure

Install the git package:
```
# dnf install git
```
Optional: Set the full name associated with your Git commits:
```
$ git config --global user.name "Full_Name"
```
Optional: Set the email address associated with your Git commits:
```
$ git config --global user.email "email@example.com"
```
Replace Full Name and email@example.com with your name and email address.
Optional: To change the default text editor started by Git, set the value of the core.editor configuration option:
```
$ git config --global core.editor command
```
Replace command with the command to be used to start the selected text editor.
