I have Centos VM with git 1.7.1. I would like to upgrade to the latest version of git. However when I try to upgrade using yum, it says nothing to do and does not upgrade the version. Below is the output from yum command : 

# yum install git

  • 1.7.1 is the latest version of git for CentOS 6.4. If you need a newer version, then you have either to find a newer rpm somewhere, or compile yourself. – Slaven Rezic Sep 17 '13 at 06:04
