Install RabbitVCS via PPA

RabbitVCS is a set of graphical tools for accessing the version control software that you use. It supports Subversion and git and is similar to TortoiseVCS found on Windows.

Ubuntu 12.04 provides RabbitVCS in the standard repositories but this is version 0.13 which does not have support for GNOME 3 and so does not provide nautilus integration or gEdit integration.

In order to install the later 0.15 version of RabbitVCS you will need to add the RabbitVCS ppa.

Install RabbitVCS via PPA:

The RabbitVCS PPA supports Ubuntu 13.04, Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 12.10, Ubuntu 11.10, Ubuntu 10.04 and their derivatives, such as Linux Mint and Elementary OS.

Press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open terminal. When it opens run commands to add the PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rabbitvcs/ppa

Then update system package lists via:

sudo apt-get update

Install the packages:

sudo apt-get install rabbitvcs-nautilus3 rabbitvcs-thunar rabbitvcs-gedit rabbitvcs-cli
