If you need the latest version of git you need to compile it yourself. I have a post on my blog if you are interested.

Hey Piku, thanks for the comment.
When following your post (http://ropiku.wordpress.com/2008/04/14/updating-git-on-ubuntu/), for the line:
sudo apt-get build-dep git-core
I get:
E: Unable to find a source package for git-core
It all ends up working, but can you enlighten as to why I get this error?

What version of Ubuntu are you running ?
I tried this on 7.10 Gutsy and 8.04 Hardy and it is working fine.

Comment by Piku

It is indeed also working fine for me – I just had that mystery error and was wondering about it. I’ve updated the post to direct folks to your post.

Thanks

just a note. now i formatted gutsy and install fresh hardy, piku’s instructions installed git without any errors this time.
