Hi,

Can someone give me a pointer re how to install "git" on Redhat linux?
 I'm getting a bit confused with all the different approaches I'm
seeing. The linux box I'm targetting is running clarkconnect
(www.clarkconnect.com) and underlying system details are;

[root@home ~]# cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.18-8.1.14.3.cc (devel@cc4devel.lan) (gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-8)) #1 SMP Mon Oct 22 17:57:16 EDT 2007

Thanks Greg

actually I've tried downloading the main "http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.6.1.2.tar.gz", and then following:

tar xzvf git-1.6.1.2.tar.gz cd git-1.6.1.2 ./configure make sudo make install

Seems to have worked...

git-core is in EPEL. If you add it to your repos, you can simply yum install git-core.

Sincerly,

Nico
