Install the latest git2.11 version on centos

Install the latest git2.11 version on centos

The procedure is as follows:

1. Download the compilation tool

Yumgroupinstall "DevelopmentTools"

2. Download the dependency package

Yuminstallzlib-develperl-ExtUtils-MakeMakerasciidocxmltoopenssl-devel

3. Download the source code of the latest version of Git.

Wgethttp: // www.codemonkey.org. uk/projects/git-snapshots/GitHub/git-latest.tar.gz

Or

Wgethttp: // www.codemonkey.org. uk/projects/git-snapshots/git/git-latest.tar.xz (I used this successfully)

4. Extract the source file

Tar-zxvfgit-latest.tar.gz

Or

Xz-dgit-latest.tar.xz

Tar-xvfgit-latest.tar (I used this to succeed)

5. Compile and install

Autoconf

./Configure

Make-jn & make-jninstall (I used make & successfully)

Here, n in make-jn is the specified number of threads. For multi-core processors, this can speed up compilation and installation.

6. Add link

Ln-s/usr/local/bin/git/usr/bin/

This step is very important for systems with old git versions in the original system. It will be reported that the Link already exists. In this case, delete the original Link, namely/usr/bin/git, and then execute Step 6.

7. Check the version number

Git -- version

If the old version of git exists in the system, after the new git is installed, it is still displayed as the old version after git -- version is used, because I ignores step 6, which is very important!
