Installing Git in Ubuntu

"git" can mean anything
"global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you.
"goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of hackers.

Steps:
1. $ sudo apt-get install libexpat1-dev zlibc curl
2. $ cd ~ && mkdir src && cd src
3. Get the latest version or choose any version here: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/
~/src$ wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.6.0.tar.gz
4. ~/src$ tar -xvf git-1.6.0.tar.gz && cd git-1.6.0
5. ~/src/git-1.6.0$ ./configure
6. ~/src/git-1.6.0$ make
7. ~/src/git-1.6.0$ sudo make install
8. ~/src/git-1.6.0$ git --version
git version 1.6.0
Your done!
