Git Packages for Ubuntu

I have a Ubuntu repository for git. It’s hosted at Launchpad and I try to build packages of the latest git version within a few days after it’s official release. The only time I will announce an update on my blog is when it is a new upstream release. All other updates I will announce on my twitter account @avhsoftware.

Currently only Ubuntu 10.04 is being updated. If there is a need for updated versions for Ubuntu 9.10 and/or 9.04 drop me a note through my contact page.
Current version: 1.7.2.1

Git is available for the following Ubuntu distributions:

• Lucid
• Karmic
• Jaunty

To add my repository to your system follow one of these two instructions:

For Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 and higher:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pdoes/ppa/ubuntu

For version prior to Karmic 9.10 Ubuntu:
Add my repository key:

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 4CBEDD5A

To add my repository to your system:

1. Goto System -> Administration -> Software Sources
2. Click Third-Party Software or Other Software
3. Click Add
4. Fill in the APT line: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pdoes/ppa/ubuntu distro main
   Replace distro with either jaunty or karmic, depending on your distribution.
5. Click Add Source
6. Click Close
7. Click Reload
