How to install latest version of git on CentOS 8.x/7.x/6.x

You can use WANDisco's CentOS repository to install Git 2.x: for CentOS 6, for CentOS 7

1. Install WANDisco repo package:

   yum install http://opensource.wandisco.com/centos/6/git/x86_64/wandisco-git-release-6-1.noarch.rpm
   - or -
   yum install http://opensource.wandisco.com/centos/7/git/x86_64/wandisco-git-release-7-1.noarch.rpm
   - or -
   yum install http://opensource.wandisco.com/centos/7/git/x86_64/wandisco-git-release-7-2.noarch.rpm
   

2. Install the latest version of Git 2.x:

3. Verify the version of Git that was installed:

   git --version
   

As of 02 Mar. 2020, the latest available version from WANDisco is 2.22.0.

yum installs an older version of git on Centos

You have to first install the wandisco repository and then update git.

Use your centos version in the URL.

yum install http://opensource.wandisco.com/centos/7/git/x86_64/wandisco-git-release-7-2.noarch.rpm

yum update git

Update to latest git version 2.2.x in CentOS

That you have a version of git that new is surprising. That isn't packaged officially for CentOS 6 or 7.

CentOS 6 ships with git 1.7.1.

CentOS 7 ships with 1.8.3.1.

To get a newer version of git you'll need to find out where you got your already "new" version of git from and see if they have an update. Amazon could have packaged a newer version themselves and may not have yet updated that package.

With output from yum info git of (from the comments):

$ yum info git

it appears that Amazon have packaged git version 2.1 themselves and if yum update doesn't get you a newer version then they haven't packaged any version newer then that.

The release notes page for the Amazon Linux AMI seems to agree with that.

How do I install the latest GIT and SVN on CentOS 7?

The simplest way I have found is to tell yum where to look for the new versions.
To do this, you need to create a .repo file for yum

On my system this involved:

cd /etc/yum.repos.d
vim wandisco.repo

In the new file put the text:

[WandiscoSVN]

name=Wandisco SVN Repo

baseurl=http://opensource.wandisco.com/centos/7/svn-1.9/RPMS/$basearch/

enabled=1

gpgcheck=1

gpgkey=http://opensource.wandisco.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-WANdisco

[WandiscoGIT]

name=Wandisco GIT Repo

baseurl=http://opensource.wandisco.com/centos/7/git/$basearch/

enabled=1

gpgcheck=1

gpgkey=http://opensource.wandisco.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-WANdisco

This will direct yum to look to the WANdisco servers when you are attempting to install things.
Then run

yum install git subversion

and they should both update to the most recent versions

Configure git with Jenkins on Centos

The default path for Git on CentOS should be:

/usr/local/git/bin

You will find the same installation process (and same path) in this blog post.

More generally, if you have access to the CentOS VM, do a

which git

to see where it is installed.

Note that the warning you see "Installed git version too old for credentials support" would mean that:

• you have the right path for git (it is found and executed)
• but the installed version is too old: make sure to upgrade to the latest git available (by recompiling the sources).

Linux Centos 7, how to install the siunix LaTeX package?

Are you sure it is not just a typo? The package is called siunitx, not siunix.

Maybe have a lok at your package-manager yum, for me (in Arch) there is texlive-siunitx package.

Alternatively copy / unzip the files from github and then run the install.sh script, it should install everything you need.

I cannot test it myself as I don't run centOS, Sorry :)
