How to Install GIT on Ubuntu (in English)

From today I'll start to post some topics translated to English, to help more users.

Forgive my English, it isn't perfect but I hope it will do.

Today I'll make a quick post about how to install GIT on Ubuntu.
GIT is a software to handle and delivery versions of projects, it was made by Linus Torvalds for the Kernel's project and, nowadays, it is used for many other projects, such as Ruby on Rails.

When I posted about how to install Rails on Ubuntu I didn't mention GIT, but you'll realize that is very useful to have it installed because there are many plugins for Rails stored on GIT repositories.

To install it is very simple, you only have to use this command:

$ sudo apt-get install git-core git-doc git-svn git-gui gitk

In your journey in Ruby on Rails' world you will find many plugins that needs GIT for their installation, but it won't be a problem anymore.

See you!
