How to install git on Ubuntu Lucid
It is time to go through our usual exercise of installing git on a bright and shiny new Ubuntu. Lucid it is this time around. No surprises at all (see previously posted Karmic instructions) : sudo aptitude install zlib1g-dev cd ~/_tmp wget http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.7.1.tar.gz tar xvfz git-1.7.1.tar.gz cd git-1.7.1/ ./configure make sudo make install git enjoy!
