Trouble getting latest version of Git

You can use my Launchpad PPA, currently it gives you git 1.8.0.

Git is available for the following Ubuntu distributions:

  • Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal)
  • Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise)
  • Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric)
  • Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty)
  • Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick)
  • Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid)

To install my git repository follow the instructions at: Git Packages for Ubuntu • A Virtual Home

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pdoes/ppa

To get rid of the 404, you have to remove them from your repository sources. I'm not 100% sure if I give the right instructions as I don;t have a machine with Lucid but it should fairly close.

  • Start Synaptic Package Manager
  • Settings -> Repositories
  • Other Software
  • Unselect the repositories that give you the 404.

Apparently git on a Linux system refers to GNU Interactive Tools. The command to download the Git version control system on Ubuntu is:

sudo apt-get install git-core git-doc

If you want or need additional tools (including GUI and Web access), you can:

sudo apt-get install gitweb git-gui gitk git-email git-svn
