In another git tutorial I had to install Cygwin 1.9 on
Cygwin and Ubuntu. I have a feeling
other people may just want this small piece of info when googling for it.
This blog post just covers this small subject quickly. (This assumes you have some version of git
already installed)
Cygwin
To install a newer version of git on cygwin follow this
procedure (I am going to go to version 1.9)
> git clone
https://github.com/git/git.git
> cd git
> git
checkout v1.9.0
|
Now that you have v 1.9 checked out do the following
> make
configure
>
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
> make
> make -i install
|
After doing this I opened a new cygwin window and ran the
following to confirm the update
> git
--version
|
Ubuntu
I also had to install git v 1.9.0 on my Ubuntu 10.04 server
to do this I ran the following commands
> git clone
https://github.com/git/git.git
> cd git
> git
checkout v1.9.0
|
Now that you have v 1.9 checked out do the following
> make
configure
> ./configure --prefix=/usr
> make
> make -i
install
|
After doing this I opened a new cygwin window and ran the following to confirm the update
> git
--version
|
