Git

Git is the most used version control system for source code management. It promotes distributed revision control and is an integral part of development these days.

JHipster uses Git for upgrading applications and Git is also recommended for the smooth working of NodeJS and NPM ecosystems:

1. Check for Git by running git --version in the Terminal. It should display git version x.x.x; the version number can be anything.
2. If the command is not found, you can visit git-scm (https://git-scm.com/downloads) and follow the instructions to install Git on your operating system. 
3. Once installed, check the command in step 1 again to make sure.
