How install git on CentOS? I find this manual. Is it good?

Not programming question - and have you tried? It looks fine. – user28457 Feb 23 '10 at 14:51
This is the server on which the application is running right now, so I'm afraid to experiment. – Pavel Druzyak Feb 23 '10 at 15:06

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

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.
