Do you have all the dependencies \nalready installed? If so, I have sometimes used the Git binary in the \nbuild folder when testing a new feature I was working on because I \ndidn't want to install an unstable version on my system. It worked fine \nfor the most part, though I admit I didn't really use a whole lot of \nthings other than commit and some worktree commands. Maybe something \nlike that would work for you? You can download a tarball from kernel.org \n[0].\n\nIf you can't, maybe you can try building Git on a machine you _do_ have \ninternet and root access on, and then copy over the binaries? Again, I \nhaven't played around a whole lot with something like this so I can't \nsay if it'll work. Something to try I guess.\n\n[0] https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/\n\n-- \nRegards,\nPratyush Yadav\n"},{"id":"395109","messageId":"001501d60e05$bb5f2b10$321d8130$@samsung.com","threadId":"53183","inReplyTo":"20200408180753.j4sa7iahszp3kljn@yadavpratyush.com","subject":"RE: Installing git questions I can't find an answer to.","fromName":"Jordan","fromEmail":"jordan.az@samsung.com","sentAt":"2020-04-09T00:28:03Z","receivedAt":"2020-04-09T00:28:11Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"jordan.az@samsung.com","avatar":null},"body":"Hello Pratyush,\nThanks for the reply.
