Installing Git on CentOS 5.2 from sources

Installing Git SCM on Centos 5.2

Before running replace VERSION with the version you wish to install, usually the latest version will do fine.

yum install openssl-devel curl-devel expat-devel -y
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-VERSION.tar.gz
tar xvf git-VERSION.tar.gz
cd git-VERSION
make
make install
