How to install git on SUSE :: i am on SUSE, and i want to install git

hello dear Opensuse-experts,

Today i have some special issues: i want to get startet with GIT:

The question is: How to install git on OpenSUSE :: i am on OpenSUSE, and i want to install git,

can i do this with execute “zypper in git“:



marle:~ # zypper in git
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
'git' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
No provider of 'git' found.
Resolving package dependencies...

Nothing to do.

well i thin that i can do this while use “zypper in git-core“:



marle:~ # zypper in git-core
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...

The following 2 NEW packages are going to be installed:
  git-core perl-Error

2 new packages to install.
Overall download size: 3.3 MiB. Already cached: 0 B. After the operation, additional 19.99 MiB will be used.
......


well - it seems just that simple - i think i am done: i can enjoy git now:

marle:~ # git
usage: git --version] --help] -C <path>] -c name=value]
           --exec-path=<path>]] --html-path] --man-path] --info-path]
           -p|--paginate|--no-pager] --no-replace-objects] --bare]
           --git-dir=<path>] --work-tree=<path>] --namespace=<name>]
           <command> <args>]

now i try to dive into the most commonly used git commands…

This is what I have installed, mind that it’s on Tw:

knurpht@Knurpht-HP:~> rpm -qa | grep git-git-web-2.16.2-4.1.x86_64
git-core-2.16.2-4.1.x86_64
git-2.16.2-4.1.x86_64
git-email-2.16.2-4.1.x86_64
git-cvs-2.16.2-4.1.x86_64
git-svn-2.16.2-4.1.x86_64
git-gui-2.16.2-4.1.x86_64
knurpht@Knurpht-HP:~> 



One of the most used commands for me is


git clone URL_TO_GIT_REPOSITORY_HERE

You should be able to instll git with the command you first tried.

Recommend you post your repos for review

zypper lr -d
