CentOS 升级 Git 最新版

https://www.latrell.me/post-316.html

由于CentOS用yum安装的版本只有1.x，故需要手动编译安装。

首先，下载git安装包。

从github上下载一个最新版（撰写文章时的最新版为：2.5.0）。

cd /usr/local/src
wget https://github.com/git/git/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip

由于系统中已存在git，所以先备份现有git。

mv /usr/bin/git{,.bak}

编译安装

cd /usr/local/src/git-master
make configure
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ --with-curl --with-expat
make
make install

拷贝到原有Git所在位置

cp /usr/local/src/git-master/git /usr/bin

在编译过程中可能会遇到错误，主要原因是minimal版的centos没有相应的工具，可以手动安装一下。

yum -y install gcc automake autoconf libtool make

# yum install -y gettext
