    # yum remove git
  2. Download the latest version from the Git website and add Git to the environment variables.
    # wget https://github.com/git/git/archive/version.tar.gz
    # tar zxvf version.tar.gz
    # cd git-version
    # make configure
    # ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/git --with-iconv=/usr/local/libiconv
    # make all doc
    # make install install-doc install-html
    # echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/git/bin" >> /etc/bashrc
    # source /etc/bashrc
