Virtual Web Server: Part 9 - Git Setup

In order to get OctoPress up and running in this tutorial series, you’ll need Git installed and configured. Luckily, this is quick and easy.

First, install git and git-core, chances are, if you’ve followed this tutorial in order, you probably have these installed already.

Next, We need to tell git who we are with git config --global user.name "FirstName LastName" and what our email address is with git config --global user.email "address@example.com"

With this done, you can create and manage git repositories, very important for our OctoPress install later.
