Install Git
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
To work with the ZFS software on Github, it's necessary to install the
|
|
Git software on your computer and set it up. This page covers that
|
|
process for some common Linux operating systems. Other Linux operating
|
|
systems should be similar.
|
|
|
|
Install the Software Package
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The first step is to actually install the Git software package. This
|
|
package can be found in the repositories used by most Linux
|
|
distributions. If your distribution isn't listed here, or you'd like to
|
|
install from source, please have a look in the `official Git
|
|
documentation <https://git-scm.com/download/linux>`__.

Configuring Git
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Your user name and email address must be set within Git before you can
|
|
make commits to the ZFS project. In addition, your preferred text editor
|
|
should be set to whatever you would like to use.
