GIT
GIT is an essential version control system. Here are some links to get you started and to learn more. We are going to use GIT both for sharing our repositories and for downloading existing code from other makers.
Installing GIT
To install GIT on your Raspberry Pi is extremely easy: just type in your terminal the following:
sudo apt install git
That's it
Note: Recent Raspbian builds contain GIT already. It might be that you don't even have to run the installation described above. Just type git at the console to check, it is already available.
