You may want to higher version of Git if you use Visual Studio Code (a.k.a. vscode) - its version will be Git 2.x probably. In that case, you can install by WANDisco repo package easily.
STEP 1. Install WANDisco repo package
yum install http://opensource.wandisco.com/centos/7/git/x86_64/wandisco-git-release-7-2.noarch.rpm
STEP 2. Install the latest version of Git 2.x:
yum install git
STEP 3. Verify the version of Git that was installed:
git --version
STEP 4. Set git commit username and email address type
git config --global user.name "Your Name" git config --global user.email "youremail@yourdomain.com"
To verify the changes:
git config --list
Output:
user.name=Your name user.email=youremail@yourdomain.com
The configuration settings are stored in the ~/.gitconfig file
As of , I was able to see its version 2.22.0 for your information.
