Git is a free and open-source distributed version control system. It is designed to handle small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.

Method 1. Installing Git using DNF

The default Fedora repositories also contain the Git packages. But it contains an older version. You can use the following command to install the available git client on the Fedora system.

Method 2. Installing Latest Git from Source

```
sudo dnf install curl-devel expat-devel gettext-devel openssl-devel zlib-devel gcc perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker 
```
Now remove any prior installation of Git through RPM file or Yum package manager. If your older version is also compiled through source, then skip this step.
```
yum remove git 
```

Download git source code from kernel git or simply use following command to download Git 2.0.5.

cd /usr/src 
wget https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-2.36.1.tar.gz 
tar xzf git-2.36.1.tar.gz

After downloading and extracting the Git source code, Use the following command to compile the source code.
```
cd git-2.36.1 
sudo make prefix=/usr/local/git all 
sudo make prefix=/usr/local/git install 
```

Now, configure the PATH environment variable.

echo "PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/git/bin" | sudo tee -a /etc/environment 
source /etc/environment

Once completing the above steps, you have successfully installed Git in your system. Let’s use the following command to check the git version
