E.g., something like the following should work: git clone https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git.git cd git make -j8 make test; # optional, to verify that the git you built works ok export PATH=$(pwd)/bin-wrappers:$PATH Now the updated git is in your $PATH and you can use it. See INSTALL in the git source tree for more details.
