Upgrading git from the source repository in Ubuntu
I want to upgrade git using the source repository in Ubuntu. As you note, the last stable version is the 2.0.2, but I have the 1.9.4. I cloned the git repo, but I'm not sure how to continue. I want to do that in some way I can understand how to interact with the branches and tags of the repo, so I am not searching solutions of this type Please help! 2.0.2 has been uploaded 3 days ago in this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~git-core/+archive/ubuntu/ppa sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa But if this isn't what you want, and you have clone the git repo, then sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls
