Installing git on Ubuntu

after several days wondering how to upgrade git on ubuntu (to test Chromium OS) this is my solution.

$ sudo apt-get build-dep git-core git-doc

$ wget http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.7.0.6.tar.bz2

$ tar -xvjf git-1.7.0.6.tar.bz2

$ cd git-1.7.0.6/

$ make prefix=/usr/local all doc

$ sudo make prefix=/usr/local install install-doc

$ which git

/usr/local/bin/git

$ git --version

git version 1.7.0.6

doc is optional.

now i proceed to chromium install :)
