Installation of Git

Several git clients are presented here.

For most of the git clients, git is actually required to be installed on the system. You can find installers for Windows, MacOS and Linux on the Git webpage.

If you are using Visual Studio Code, and if you want to contribute to a repository hosted on the LCSB Gitlab, you will need to verify the host key first before you are able to clone or push to a repository. For this, open a terminal (on Linux or macOS) or Git Bash (on Windows), and type:

ssh git@gitlab.lcsb.uni.lu -p8022

Then, press Enter and type yes. This will add the Gitlab server to the known hosts on your system.
