If the accepted answer does not give you the version you want, try the following instructions: I found this nice and easy-to-follow guide on how to download the GIT source and compile it yourself (and install it). Installing a specific version of git say 2.x Otherwise it complained about dependency problems. Thanks to Anthony Hatzopoulos, for git v1.8x you'll need to use git18 as in: yum -disablerepo=base,updates -enablerepo=rpmforge-extras install git18Īlso thanks to for the below hint and for the feedback:Ĭhange the rpmforge.repo file to have rpmforge-extras to enabled,

Facing issues while upgrading git to latest version on CentOS 6.4.If you already have git installed then use: yum -disablerepo=base,updates -enablerepo=rpmforge-extras update git Make sure you got the rpmforge repository added to your CentOS yum and just run the flowing command: yum -disablerepo=base,updates -enablerepo=rpmforge-extras install git Having a look at the blog here I found the solution in one of the comments.
