From source? From the repos? The easiest way is to use the repos: sudo yum install git should do it.
If you want to install from source, you can try
these instructions. If you have
yum-utils installed it's actually easier than that, too**:
sudo yum build-dep git
wget wget http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/.tar.gz
tar -xvjf .tar.gz
cd
make (possibly a ./configure before this)
sudo make install
**Substitute the portions enclosed in <> with the paths you need. Exact procedure may vary slightly as I have not compiled git from source, personally (there may be a configure script, for example). If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then you may want to just install from the repo as per my first suggestion.
[root@www local]# sudo yum install git
