Installing git

The transition of the UCSC source tree from CVS control to git control may require the installation of the git package on your operating system. Following are some examples of typical git install scenarios.

CentOS

At this time the git package isn't a standard package available with the system install command yum. One user has solved this problem with the Webtatic package: git on centos 5, namely:

1. install webtatic: rpm -ivh http://repo.webtatic.com/yum/centos/5/`uname -i`/webtatic-release-5-0.noarch.rpm
2. continue with yum install: yum install --enablerepo=webtatic git-all

An example update of this on a CentOS 5.5 system updated the following packages:
