  • This is the server on which the application is running right now, so I'm afraid to experiment.

Add the EPEL repository, then install it using yum.

Note everyone: git comes in the stranded centos 6 repos but for 5 you will need EPEL or freshmeat etc or from source.

I provide RPMs for git 1.7 in the Webtatic repository, as the kernel.org RPM's are incompatible with CentOS's old rpm installer.
