Install git
Open a terminal (ctrl-alt-t).
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install git
mkdir -p ~/github/github
git clone https://github.com/ReneNyffenegger/PostLinuxInstallation ~/github/github/PostLinuxInstallation
cd ~/github/github/PostLinuxInstallation/dot-files
. _setup.sh
cd ~/github/github/PostLinuxInstallation/install/git
./config.sh
Apparently, the «standard» approach does not install the newest git version…
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa -y
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git -y
git --version
Of course, the apt-get update command results in:
W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net/git-core/ppa/ubuntu kinetic InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A1715D88E1DF1F24
E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/git-core/ppa/ubuntu kinetic InRelease' is not signed.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
This blog suggests to add the public key to my(?) system with
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys A1715D88E1DF1F24
Executing: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.g6AmEDGffS/gpg.1.sh --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys A1715D88E1DF1F24
gpg: key A1715D88E1DF1F24: public key "Launchpad PPA for Ubuntu Git Maintainers" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: imported: 1
With the imported public key, I am now able to execute sudo apt-get update, but sudo apt-get install git -y results in

This is when I gave up.
