I’m
sure there are tons of blogs out there on the same subject. This is
just like a reference for me and others out there who might stumble
upon this post. Note that what I have documented here is what worked
for me. At the time of writing the latest GIT version was 1.7.1
- First we install the dependent packages, thus you wont have to install the packages yourself.
$
sudo aptitude build-dep git-core
- Download latest stable GIT release from here
$
wget http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.7.1.tar.gz
- Extract the archive and change to the extracted directory
#
tar xvzf git-1.7.1.tar.gz
#
cd git-1.7.1/
- Run the following
$
./configure
$
make
$
sudo make install
- Check installation and clean up
$
git --version
$
cd ../;rm -r git-1.7.1 git-1.7.1.tar.gz
