Git is a revision control system that allows you to clone complete software repositories among developers.

Get git

Here is an example how to download and install git. This example downloads version 1.7.6 of git and must be executed as root user under a default installation of SLES 10:

  • Download git
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.7.6.tar.gz
  • if this does not work, you may have to set your proxy and redo it like this
export http_proxy=proxy.company.com:8080
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.7.6.tar.gz
  • unpack it
tar xvzf git-1.7.6.tar.gz
  • make sure you have the development package of zlib like this:
yast -i zlib-devel
cd git-1.7.6/
./configure && make -j8 && make install
