Prerequisits
To interact with your desktop environment (call applications / tools, e.g. on the command line, or to open a terminal)
Gambas requires the
gambas3-gb-dbus package to be installed. It must not necessarily be registered to you project, but the IDE needs it.
Since there is no
gambas3-gb-git package, I assume that all
git commands are issued on the command line. This requires the
git package to be installed on the system.
For convenience, I have also installed the GUI package
gitg, but I'm sure you can do everything without it on the command line or with any other GUI package for
git.

The article
How to deal with Git and Gitlab for Gambas explains some basics, but is generally targeted to the
Gambas development. What I describe here is the approach to put a project, written with
Gambas, under version control.
In the following, I assume that your project already contains the first functional classes and that you would like to place them under version control and work with version control from then on.
Gambas (at least Version 3.19.1) provides a
Gambas IDE git integration (see also:

Put under version control menu.
