Ansible is an incredible configuration management and provisioning utility that enables you to automate all the things. In this series, you’ll learn everything you need to know in order to use Ansible for your day-to-day administration duties. In part 3, we take a look at another foundational concept – Git. Everyone who effectively implements automation uses Git, and in this video, we look into creating a repository and how to push changes.

Check if git is installed

Install git

sudo apt update

Create user config for git

git config --global user.name "First Last"

Stage the README.md file (after making changes) to be included in the next git commit

git add README.md
