I spent 30 minutes on Google attempting to discover how to install Git  
on Ubuntu, so I thought I would post this so others may find it.

sudo apt-get install git-core

simple enough, but it could be gem install, or some other method and I  
didn’t want to get it wrong.

It seemed to work, but If this is not correct, please post the  
recommended method.
