How to install GIT Client in Ubuntu 10.10?

2.2k Views Asked by At

In ubuntu 12.04 I use the command sudo apt-get install git but on a 10.10 machine it won't because its not already available in the repository. Im trying to find a .deb but no luck. Can somebody help me find a way to install it?

One option is to download and install it from the source code. This way you'll ge the latest upstream version with the latest features:

$ wget https://git-core.googlecode.com/files/git-1.8.3.1.tar.gz
$ tar xvfz git-1.8.3.1.tar.gz
$ cd git-1.8.3.1
$ make
$ make install

This will install the git binaries on your ~/bin/ directory. For other installation options, see the INSTALL file on the source directory root.
