My favorite git repository is github. It is free unless you want to create a private repository. For private repositories you have to pay a monthly price but it is not mandatory. So if you want a free repository of your source code or documents, go to https://github.com/ and create an account.
Suppose you have a local GIT repository where dev-stable-topic is the development branch and time to time the releases are made to the customer from a remote GIT repository which has a branch called release-stable from where the selective changes are merge in a controlled way. The remote repository is hosted in a separate linux server.
Often you will encounter merge conflicts while doing rebase operation as described above.
Use the below command on your ubuntu terminal:
$ sudo apt-get install git
