You can use the apt package management tools to update your local package index. Afterwards, you can download and install the program:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git

Set Up Git:
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "youremail@domain.com"

We can see all of the configuration items that have been set by typing:
git config --list

tno@BlockchainBeast:~/Downloads$ git config --global user.name "SebLKMa"
tno@BlockchainBeast:~/Downloads$ git config --global user.email "sebmalikkeung@gmail.com"
tno@BlockchainBeast:~/Downloads$ git config --list
user.email=sebmalikkeung@gmail.com
user.name=SebLKMa

tno@BlockchainBeast:~/Downloads$ which git
/usr/bin/git

GET LATEST TO EMPTY DIR
Go to local dir e.g. GoProjects

tno@BlockchainBeast:~/dev/GoProjects$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/tno/dev/GoProjects/.git/

tno@BlockchainBeast:~/dev/GoProjects$ git remote add origin https://github.com/SebLKMa/GoProjects.git

tno@BlockchainBeast:~/dev/GoProjects$ git fetch --all

WRONG USER and PASSWORD when using git push
===========================================
SEE 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15381198/remove-credentials-from-git
https://nirklars.wordpress.com/tag/git-push-wrong-username/

C:\TNO\tnodevt\FIR>git push -u origin master
remote: Permission to sebtno/FIR.git denied to SebLKMa.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/sebtno/FIR.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

The following was the solution that finally worked satisfactory for me: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15381198/remove-credentials-from-git

Try this:
remove the [user] and [credential] entries from C:\Users\<username>\.gitconfig and

git config --system --unset credential.helper

or Try this:

git config --global credential.helper wincred

The command changes so that git uses windows own credential manager.
After this setting is changed try pushing once again, if it fails then remove the entries related to github in the windows Credential Manger in the Control Panel. 
The next time you push it should now prompt you for login credentials AND REMEMBER THEM! phew
