Top of the day to everyone, in this read, I'm going to walk you through the process of installing GIT on your Android phone without rooting your device.

To get started, we are going to install Termux from Google play store, go to Google play store on your device, search for Termux and install it from there.

So what is Termux?

Termux is an Android terminal emulator and Linux environment app that works directly with no rooting or setup required. A minimal base system is installed automatically - additional packages are available using the APT package manager.

What is Git?

Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.

Now to install GIT on Termux, we need to update and upgrade the repository where we are going to install git from.

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

Next we install git using the below command

apt-get install git openssh

You'd be prompted if you want to continue with the process, hit y on your keyboard
