Install git on my Web & Classic Hosting account

Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to increase efficiency and improve team workflows.

1. Download the latest release of git from https://github.com/git/git/releases.
2. Log in to your Web Hosting account via SSH. For more info, see Connect to my Web Hosting account with SSH (Secure Shell).
3. Unpack the tar file.

   Note: Throughout these code snippets, we'll use the tar file "git-1.8.1.2.tar.gz" as an example. You need to make sure your code matches the tar file you downloaded.

   
   
   tar -zxf git-1.8.1.2.tar.gz
4. Browse to the newly created directory for the tar file:
   
   cd git-1.8.1.2
5. Confirm that the tar file is installed:
   
   ~/opt/usr/bin/git --version
   git version 1.8.1.2
6. Get git on your path and tell Git not to do SSL verification. If you haven't already, create a ~/.bash_profile file and add the following to it:
   
   export GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true
   PATH=$PATH:$HOME/opt/usr/bin
   export PATH
   GIT_EXEC_PATH=$HOME/opt/usr/libexec/git-core
   export GIT_EXEC_PATH
7. Make sure these settings are working correctly by running the following command:
   
   source ~/.bash_profile
8. Check the version:
   
   git --version
   git version 1.8.1.2
9. Git is now installed on your Web Hosting Account.
