Describe your suggestion

The DigitalOcean guide for installing Git on ChromeOS has served us well, but it appears that the repository that ChromeOS uses for its Linux Development Environment is up to date enough that we can point learners to simply using apt to install the application instead.

Someone taking on this issue should consider whether we need to keep a separate ChromeOS section, or simply roll it into the Linux section (Linux/Ubuntu perhaps?)

I tried to test this with my ChromeOS Flex machine, but it would also be good for someone with an official Chromebook to validate this course of action before we commit to it.

@Demon-Sheriff Sorry for taking so long to get back to you! This issue is all yours if you'd like to take a crack at it.

Hey, I don't have a Chromebook, but I can try to write something that combines both of GitHub official instructions and maybe this video for older devices?

It'd be my first contribution, lmk your thoughts! @xandora

BTW: I do think it's still valid to keep this section.

I realize now that we should break up this problem in two smaller ones.

1. Create instructions on how to setup CLI for ChromeOS users in "Command Line Basics" lesson, since there's no reference about it over there;
2. Update the "Setting up git" lesson to follow basically the same Linux instructions (although I think it's ok to keep a separate tab as well to reinforce the required setup for this to work).

I suggest this because either path shown on Github only gets different in the sense of how the user should enable a terminal prompt in ChromeOS. For older devices, you have to install an emulator, whereas for recent ones is a matter of enabling the Developer Tools provided by ChromeOS. All of these instructions should be presented in the previous lesson, not here.

I'd be interested in working on a solution for this, I'll wait to be assigned. @xandora @MaoShizhong

This issue is stale because it has had no activity for the last 30 days.

@xandora I'd like to work on this. I think we can roll the instructions into the linux section and keep the installation from source guide as a legacy approach for older chromebooks

[xandora]

@miryarik It's all yours.
