Jules,

you'll find downloads for git at http://git-scm.com/downloads There you can download prebuild packages.

However if you want to go by the source, and have not git already... (git is maintained using git, so if you don't have git, getting git, well before it gets complicated): At https://github.com/gitster/git you'll find a button at the right lower side "Download as zip file", which contains the sources.

These should be compilable using gcc. Make sure to read the INSTALL file, it contains hints on which other software apart from gcc is needed to setup git using the sourcecode.
