What you will need

- [Instructor] In this course, I will be using Git on CentOS 7 Linux installed in a VirtualBox virtual machine. I've chosen to use CentOS 7 Linux for this course because it's a clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 which is very popular in the service space. However, the topics covered in this course can be used with other distributions of Linux such as Ubuntu or openSUSE, and types of Unix such as Solaris and BSD, as well as macOS 10 and Windows. The operating system is really not as important as the topic at hand, using Git for system administration. For this course I installed CentOS 7 Linux using the server with GUI software selection. My installation also has a username grant and in the CentOS installer I checked the box to make my user administrator so that I can install software. On any of these operating systems you'll need to have access rights to install software. Git itself is free but some of the commercial tools that can utilize Git may require a license, especially for macOS and Windows. However, you will not need to purchase anything for this course. Lastly, you may want to have internet access to connect to remote repositories
