How To Install Latest Version of Git on Linux

2021-03-27164 words 1 min read 6 times read

The version of the default git bundled with the Linux system is often too old, and lacks certain features, which may break some tools. This post summarizes how to install newer versions of Git on Linux.

Install via package manager

CentOS

If you have root rights, you can install new version of git via yum.

# https://ius.io/setup
yum install \
https://repo.ius.io/ius-release-el7.rpm \
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

yum remove git
yum install git224

The version of git installed is 2.24.4.

The following also work:

yum -y install https://packages.endpoint.com/rhel/7/os/x86_64/endpoint-repo-1.7-1.x86_64.rpm
yum remove git
yum install git

Compile and install git from source

If you would like to install git from source. Run the following script:

wget https://github.com/git/git/archive/refs/tags/v2.31.1.tar.gz -O git.tar.gz
tar xvf git.tar.gz
cd git-*
mkdir -p $HOME/local
make configure
./configure --prefix=$HOME/local
make -j && make install

git will be installed under $HOME/local/bin. Then, add $HOME/local/bin to your PATH:

export PATH="$HOME/local/bin:$PATH"

Run git --version to check the git version.
