As explained here, on Windows Subsystem for Linux I can do many many things using the command line. I am wondering if it is possible to install Git. I have tried using
sudo apt-get install git
but the result is:
~$ sudo apt-get install git
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package git
Some suggestions?
