Git was easy to install (on a mac) using this link, https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git
You need git to keep a copy of your repository "somewhere" else besides on the openshift server. and the only change after that was to the parameters_xxx.py file which one uses to access the admin page. You will need to read this page to see how to set that up. https://github.com/prelegalwonder/openshift_web2py/issues/6 That was the only change to the install. It will hopefully help you to know this before you do the install.
