Installing Latest version of git in ubuntu

git ubuntu

ppa:git-core/ppa

Just do:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppasudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install git

If add-apt-repository command is not found, install it first with

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common python-software-properties

git ubuntu

The question was: "What to do when sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa command fails".

I had the same issue in a VM behind a proxy. I resolved it with the following two steps:

Set up proxy environment variables

export http_proxy=http://<user>:<pwd>@<proxy_url>:<port_number>export https_proxy=http://<user>:<pwd>@<proxy_url>:<port_number>

Run the add-apt-repository command again as sudo with the -E option that preserves the user environment:
```
sudo -E add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa
```

git ubuntu

Just follow below commands to update latest version of git

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa -ysudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install git -ygit --version
