Setting up git on Windows and Ubuntu linux

courtesy

DevOps engineers who not only code but also take care of cofigurations know that system administration is little more painful than developing. I remember configuring an ASP.NET MVC 5 website on a Google compute engine instance running Windows server 2012 R2.

Decide line endings behaviour

Setting up git on Ubuntu linux

The system takes care of the installation after successfull authentication.

So, now things are ready for some [git-init](https://try.github.io/)
