Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, RabbitVCS is a graphical front-end for versioning control systems, like: Git or SVN. It adds an option to the file managers (Nautilus and Thunar), to provide file context menu access to version control repositories.
In this article I will show you how to install RabbitVCS on Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail, Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal, Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin, Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx, Linux Mint 15 Olivia, Linux Mint 14 Nadia, Linux Mint 13 Maya and Elementary OS 0.2 Luna.
Because RabbitVCS is available via PPA, installing it on Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Elementary OS is easy. All you have to do is:
Add the repository:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rabbitvcs/ppa
Update the local repository index:
$ sudo apt-get update
Install RabbitVCS:
