I want to upgrade git cause the version on centos5 is 1.5.5.6. yum upgrade git says, "No Packages marked for Update." Am I using the wrong rpm? How do I use a different rpm? Which should I use?


Solution 1:

Without adding an additional external repository, you wont get a later version of git.

See this article for getting Git 1.7 via yum:
