To Install GIT on CentOS 5.2 server using WHM CPanel

It may be slightly different to install GIT on CentOS 5.2 server using WHM CPanel. However, I found below steps working for me to install it.

First, make sure you are logged in as ROOT via SSH using PUTTY application.
Then, do the following;

$ su // (login as root)
$ yum update

// To install yum fastest mirror plugin (yum-plugin-fastestmirror) you can use this command:-

$ yum install yum-fastestmirror

// OR

$ yum install yum-plugin-fastestmirror

Once the installation completed, check the plugins status by editing the file /etc/yum.conf and add the following line to the file:
$ plugins=1

// Install the dependencies

yum install gettext-devel expat-devel curl-devel zlib-devel openssl-devel

// Get the git source code ( http://distfiles.macports.org/git-core/ )
wget http://distfiles.macports.org/git-core/git-1.8.2.tar.gz


// untar/uncompress the git source code
tar xvfz git-1.6.1.tar.gz

// Install the files
cd git-1.6.1.tar.gz

make prefix=/usr/local all

make prefix=/usr/local install
