We are happy to announce a new package for
Drupal 8 that includes
Git. Now it is even easier to sync Drupal code with the official repository and start testing your Drupal-based applications.
In case you are not familiar with
BitNami Drupal, it is a self-contained, easy to use distribution that makes it simple to get started developing and deploying Drupal applications. To get started with BitNami Drupal, you can download free, ready-to-run
installers for Linux,Windows and Mac OS X,
virtual machine images (VMs) and
cloud images for the Amazon and Azure clouds.

Before start using Drupal, we suggest updating the code to get the latest changes. Go to the installation directory and start the "
use_drupal" console. This
console is a script to load the required environment variables and paths to make your Drupal installation work. It is useful to run it before using any commands included in the stack: mysql, php, drush and git among others.
Git allows you to upgrade your Drupal installation to work with the latest 8.x version. It is already configured with git autocompletion so using the Tab key you can see suggested options. The repository was also configured following the official
recommendations from the Drupal project.
