                Build git from source code on CentOS 7
              
          
        
      
        
  
      
    Build git from source code, without GUI and with Python support (e.g. git-p4)

1) Get the latest version of Git from GitHub.

Look at https://github.com/git/git/tags and toward the top pick a recent version.
(e.g. at the time of this edit, v2.31.1)
method A: download a compressed archive of the sources

GITVER=2.31.1
wget https://github.com/git/git/archive/refs/tags/v${GITVER}.tar.gz
