Steps to install Git on a Server

 


Here are the steps to install Git on a server using yum and create a bare repository:


  1. Update the yum package index:
sudo yum update
  1. Install the Git package:
sudo yum install git
  1. Create a bare repository in the /opt/beta.git directory:
cd /opt
mkdir beta.git
cd beta.git
git init --bare
  1. Verify that the repository was created successfully:
ls -al

You should see a directory named .git. This is the bare repository.

Here is an explanation of the steps above:

  • The yum update command updates the yum package index, which is a list of all the available packages on the server.
  • The yum install git command installs the Git package.
  • The cd /opt command changes the current directory to the /opt directory.
  • The mkdir beta.git command creates a directory named beta.git in the /opt directory.
  • The cd beta.git command changes the current directory to the beta.git directory.
  • The git init --bare command creates a bare repository in the current directory.
  • The ls -al command lists all the files and directories in the current directory.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
