Tried to upgrade 'git' to latest as I had few applications which was not supported with older git which suggested me for 2.x. while I, tried to 'yum update git' I couldn't find 2.x being in Redhat/Oracle repository. Later, followed to install manually and these steps were documented below instructions.
Overview:
- Ensure your packages are installed(curl-devel expat-devel gettext-devel openssl-devel zlib-devel gcc perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker)
- Remove installed 'git' from system
- Download the latest version from kernel.org (I would download git-2.8.6)
- Install git.
- Make sure you add in PATH of your profile.
- Check your 'git' version.
Steps:
[root@localhost ~]# yum install curl-devel expat-devel gettext-devel openssl-devel zlib-devel gcc perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker -y
Loaded plugins: aliases, changelog, kabi, ovl, presto, refresh-packagekit, security, tmprepo, ulninfo, verify, versionlock
Loading support for kernel ABI
