Introduction

Git is an open-source version control system that allows developers to manage and track changes to their codebase. It provides a simple and efficient way to collaborate with others on a project and track changes over time.

In this article, we will explain how to set up Git on openSUSE 15.2.

Install Git

Update the package index.
```
$ sudo zypper update
```
Install Git by running the following command.
```
$ sudo zypper install git
```
Verify the git installation.
```
$ git --version
```
Output
```
git version 2.26.2
```

Configuring Git

Once Git is installed, you must configure it with the Git config command.

Specify your GitHub username and replace "your_name" with your name and "email@address.com" with your email address.
```
$ git config --global user.name "your_name"
```
```
$ git config --global user.email "email@address.com"
```

Verify configuration changes with the following command.

$ git config --list

Output

user.name=johnsmith
user.email=johnsmith@example.com
