1.4. Installing Git
Git is a version control system, used to interact with code repositories.
The LOCKSS Installer is available from GitHub, and you will need a Git client to download it.
Your operating system may already be equipped with a Git client. Type:
git --version
If the output is a version number, for example:
git version 2.21.0
then Git is already installed and you do not need to take any further action.
Otherwise, Git can be installed from your operating system’s software repositories.
