Can I install git on a Chromebook without an alternate OS

Question

Is it possible to install git on a Chrome OS? I'm working on a Chromebook and I do not want to install another OS.
From the command line, Chronos@localhost does not accept the apt command.
Do I need a different package manager?

Answer 1

To use version control on a chromebook without resorting to a dual operating system, see Michal Siwek's open source project Chromebrew.
It is a package manager to install git on a chromebook. You can read about it and download it at https://github.com/skycocker/chromebrew .
