I really dislike writing about how to install things, because 1) space in this zine is limited, 2) methods are subject to change over time, and 3) those instructions are usually available at the other end of a web search. But I love Git and want to encourage as many people as might be helped by it to use it, so here we go.

If you are using some version of Linux, chances are pretty good that git is already pre-installed on your system. If you're not sure whether it is or not, you can always open a terminal and type \texttt{git -{}-version}. You'll either get the version that is currently installed on your system, or a message like ``command not found'', meaning that it isn't installed on your system.
\subsection{On Linux}
If you have confirmed that Git is not installed on your system, here are some options:
For Fedora-type systems, use \texttt{dnf}:
\input{include/fedgitinstall}
For Debian-type systems, use \texttt{apt}:
\input{include/debgitinstall}
\subsection{On Windows and macOS}
I simply have no idea. I don't use Windows except at work.\footnote{The last version of Windows that I used in real life was Windows 7. I loved that version of Windows and got a lot of work done on it. But Windows 10 is ugly and clunky and mostly spyware. Windows 11 is ugly and entirely spyware.} I also don't have access to a secure macOS install, so I can't experiment. But instructions are available on the web. Start with \kref{https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git}{https://git-scm.com/book/en/v\\2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git}.
