How to check Git version
Tuesday, October 21, 2025
Checking your Git version is crucial for troubleshooting issues, verifying feature compatibility, and ensuring you have the latest security updates.
As the creator of CoreUI, a widely used open-source UI library, I’ve diagnosed countless Git-related issues across different environments over 25 years of development.
From my expertise, the quickest way to check your Git version is using the git --version
command, which displays the currently installed version.
This information is essential when reporting bugs or checking feature compatibility.
