make git
Jan 14, 2021
Usual Monday, different linux machine ...'git' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Hmmm … locate/find git maybe…
locate uses a prebuilt database (which should be regularly updated) meanwhile find iterates over a filesystem to locate files.
Nope… ok…checkout latest and:
# download, scp or not and extract
wget https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-2.18.0.tar.gztar xf git-2.18.0.tar.gz
cd git-2.18.0/# install dependencies
yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'
yum install curl-devel expat-devel gettext-devel openssl-devel zlib-devel perl-CPAN perl-devel# configure
make configure
./configure --prefix=/usr/local# compile
make all# install
make install
