If you are using our vagrant virtual machine, you can run git either inside or outside of your virtual machine, assuming your host machine has git installed.
Synchronization primitives like locks, semaphores and condition variables. The operating system specifies to the mmu what parts of physical memory are mapped to its virtual space, and what parts are not mapped at all. The usage of getchar above is to basically pause the computation waiting for user input. This will enable others to read my code and understand the internal workings of the os if they want to.
