Worked perfectly today with 1.7.5.4:

cd ~dl
wget http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.7.5.4.tar.bz2
# check the latest Git version here: http://git-scm.com/
tar -xjvf git-1.7.5.4.tar.bz2
cd git-1.7.5.4
make
# mkdir ~/bin if the directory does not exist
make install

Wow! Thanks so much. This went off without a hitch! Now I have git installed. No more stupid FTPing for me! Thanks a million!

@alex benke – I didn’t have to deal with the ‘true’ error either. Just ‘make’, ‘make install’ and everything was good to go. I love it when things just work!

Seems bluehost no longer has the ‘true’ problem. my git 1.7.3.1 compiled and installed without an issue. thanks much for the guide!!

Thanks for the info… I’m learning about software versioning systems and it seems that GIT is one of the best options… THANKS!

No problem Colin. Actually this is someone else’s tutorial (link at the bottom of the post where it says “via: …..”
I use wordpress for notetaking for myself and a lot of that is comprised of stuff I find while googling for answers to problems and I just put it in my post in case the site I find it at ever goes down.
