As a distributed revision control system it aims at speed, data integrity, and support for distributed, non-linear workflows.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike most client\u2013server version control systems, every Git directory on every computer is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full version-tracking capabilities, independent of network access or a central server.<\/p>\n<p>Before you use or practice on Git, the latter has to be installed on your computer. Even if it&#8217;s already installed, it\u2019s probably a good idea to update it to the latest version. In this article, we are going to&nbsp;learn how to install Git from source.<\/p>\n<p>To install Git, there are 2 options, either to install via an installer, or download the source code, compile it and then install it.\n<\/p>\n<h2>1. Introduction<\/h2>\n<p>Some people may find it useful to install Git from source, because this way guarantees that you have the&nbsp;most recent version. The binary installers available on the website tend to be a bit behind, though this makes less of a difference.<br \/>\nThis tutorial will start with a brief introduction of installing Git using installers, and then we will move towards installing Git from source.<\/p>\n<h2>2. The Easy Way, using installers<\/h2>\n<h3>2.1 Installing on Linux<\/h3>\n<p>Details of commands to be used to install Git on different linux based systems are&nbsp;shared at this <a href=\"https:\/\/git-scm.com\/download\/linux\">link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>2.2 Installing on Mac<\/h3>\n<p>To install Git on Mac, you&nbsp;can download installer from this <a href=\"https:\/\/git-scm.com\/download\/mac\">link<\/a> and follow the installation steps.<\/p>\n<h3>2.3 Installing on Windows<\/h3>\n<p>To install Git on Windows, you&nbsp;can download installer from this <a href=\"https:\/\/git-scm.com\/download\/win\">link<\/a> and follow the installation steps.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Installing Git from source<\/h2>\n<h3>3.1 Installing dependencies<\/h3>\n<p>To start with the steps for Git installation from source, first one has to make sure that all the dependencies required during installation process exist on system. Dependencies required are <i>url<\/i>, <i>zlib<\/i>, <i>openssl<\/i>, <i>expat<\/i>, and <i>libiconv<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>For system having <code>yum<\/code>, you&nbsp;can use the following command to download dependencies:<br \/>\n<code>sudo yum install curl-devel expat-devel gettext-devel openssl-devel perl-devel zlib-devel<\/code><div style=\"display:inline-block; margin: 15px 0;\"> <div id=\"adngin-JavaCodeGeeks_incontent_video-0\" style=\"display:inline-block;\"><\/div> <\/div><\/p>\n<p>For system having <code>apt-get<\/code>, you may use the following command to download dependencies:<br \/>\n<code>sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev libexpat1-dev gettext libz-dev libssl-dev<\/code><\/p>\n<p>For <i>Mac<\/i>, one can use utility like <code>brew<\/code>. To install <code>brew<\/code>&nbsp;you have to use the following command:<br \/>\n<code>ruby -e \"$(curl -fsSL https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/Homebrew\/install\/master\/install)\"<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Once <code>brew<\/code> is installed, all the required dependencies can be also installed in similar fashion.<\/p>\n<p>In order to be able to add the documentation in various formats (doc, html, info), these additional dependencies are required. For Linux based:<br \/>\n<code>sudo yum install asciidoc xmlto docbook2X<\/code><br \/>\nor<br \/>\n<code>sudo apt-get install asciidoc xmlto docbook2x<\/code><\/p>\n<p>For mac:<br \/>\n<code>brew install asciidoc xmlto docbook2x<\/code><\/p>\n<h3>3.2 Installing Git<\/h3>\n<p>To install Git from source, we can download latest source available from any of these 2 links:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/git\/git\/releases\">https:\/\/github.com\/git\/git\/releases<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kernel.org\/pub\/software\/scm\/git\/\">https:\/\/www.kernel.org\/pub\/software\/scm\/git\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Firstly, we will download source code from any of the above links, and we will copy it into a directory.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_38910\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38910\" style=\"width: 687px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
