I was reading a Linux magazine PDF ( Linux magazine special edition [US] , July 2021) [ 101 cool LINUX hacks] and at hack 86, (as shown in the image below):

a screenshot of the page

( I'm not using Windows 7 , it's just a theme) it said about a git manager, but I just couldn't install it properly (I have installed github) , I wonder if anyone could describe me how install it.

As you may have noticed, I'm a newbie to git repositories. [Solved]

What version of Ubuntu? You do not need the screen shot just the name of the app. Did you do any research there many site that talk about this app.

The instructions are there on the Github site, but they are quite concise and intended for experienced users, so I'll elaborate a bit. Look under the "Linux" header. Three commands are given:

  1. A wget command that allows you to download the program. This command will store the program in the current directory, so you may want to create a directory just for this purpose, let's say /home/[username]/grv, and cd into this directory. This program doesn't need to be installed, and apparently it doesn't need any additional packages or libraries.
  2. A chmod command. Downloaded files are never executable straightaway, for security reasons. You must set the executable bit yourself. This command does that.
  3. The command to actually launch the grv program. The path to the git repro to be viewed is a parameter. You may want to create a desktop shortcut for this program. Use /home/[username]/grv/grv as the executable path.

That is all.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
