If you need the latest release, you can install Git from the source. This is the fastest method even though the downside of this method is that the Git version that is installed may be older than the newest version available. Git is available in the CentOS software repositories so that is where we will install it from. You should have basic knowledge of using the Linux terminal. You will need a fully configured and working CentOS 7 server with a non-root user with sudo privileges.

Sites like GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket have made sharing and contributing to code with Git much easier and more widespread than ever.
