Cline uses Git under the hood to create checkpoints of your workspace throughout tasks. Every time Cline makes changes to your files, it automatically creates a Git commit, allowing you to track and revert changes if needed. Follow the instructions below to install Git for your operating system.

1. If you don't have Homebrew installed, install it first
2. Install Git using Homebrew:

   brew install git

3. Quit and re-open VSCode. Cline will automatically detect Git and enable checkpoints.

1. Download and run the official Git installer from git-scm.com
2. Quit and re-open VSCode. Cline will automatically detect Git and enable checkpoints.

1. Open Terminal and update your package index:

   sudo apt update

2. Install Git:

   sudo apt install git

3. Quit and re-open VSCode. Cline will automatically detect Git and enable checkpoints.
