If you install Git from repository On Centos 6.5, you will the the old version of git v1.7.x. But i need to use a feature that only available on git v1.8.x or more, for example git pull –recursive, this command is for update git repository along with the submodules.
So to fix it, i need to compile git from the sources. To do that you need to install some of the requirements as the command below:
yum install zlib-devel perl-CPAN gettext
To install Git from Sources follow the steps below:
cd /var/opt wget https://git-core.googlecode.com/files/git-1.9.0.tar.gz tar -xvzf git-1.9.0.tar.gz cd git-1.9.0.tar.gz ./configure make make prefix=/usr install #Finish installation #Now we try it git --version
I have been developing an auto deployment script for me and my team development, now it is working smoothly. I love git 😀
